LouyiUna. 


What  often  befalls  two  classes  of  persons  befell  Louysi-  1700-25 
ana.  The  one  class,  with  acknowledged  and  superior 
merit,  for  some  inexplicable  reason,  never  succeed  in  ob- 
taining their  due  meed  of  justice,  or  in  displaying  their 
talents,  remaining  useless  and  obscure,  while  possessing 
every  requisite  for  attaining  the  highest  reputation  and 
rendering  the  most  essential  services  to  the  state. 

The  other  class,  from  the  fact  that  too  favorable  an 
opinion  was  formed  of  them  at  first,  or  an  imaginary 
merit  attributed  to  them  instead  of  a  real  one,  are  rejected 
in  spite  of  solid  merit,  being  compelled  to  bear  the  penalty 
of  the  hasty  judgments  formed  in  regard  to  them.  Unless 
I  am  much  deceived,  my  readers  will  themselves  apply  this 
to  the  province  with  which  I  close  my  History. 

We  have  seen  that  the  Spaniards  under  Ferdinand  de 
Soto  had,  at  great  expense,  attempted  to  settle  Florida  ; 
that  their  commander  spent  the  whole  last  year  of  his  life 
in  exploring  bo'^  banks  of  the  Micissipi,  called  by  his  his- 
torian, Garcilaso  de  la  Yega,  the  Cucagua  ;  that  neither 
he  nor  his  successor,  Moscoso,  took  any  steps  to  found  a 
colony  ;  and  that,  for  a  long  time  after,  men  seemod  to  be 
ignorant  in  Spain  that  one  of  the  greatest  rivers  in  the 
world  ran  through  Florida,  watering  a  delightful  country, 
with  a  healthy  and  temperate  climate,  the  possession  of 
which  would  secure  to  the  Catholic  King  all  the  Gulf  of 
Mexico. 

The  French,  after  discovering  all  the  known  course  of 
this  same  river,  seemed  to  pay  scarcely  any  greater  atteu-

-^  T  ■-'  years  glided  by  in  this  indifferouce ;  at  lost  the  proximity 
to  the  mines  of  New  Mexico,  and  those  published  as  hav- 
ing been  discovered  in  Loaysiaua  itself,  having  aroused 
our  nation  from  this  lethargy,  the  kingdom  in  loss  than 
three  years  sent  out  more  men,  money  and  material  to 
found  a  settlement  in  that  part  of  America,  than  had  loft 
France  for  any  one  of  our  colonies  in  the  New  World  since 
the  days  of  Francis  I. 

But  when  it  was  evident  that  this  country  produced  nei- 
ther gold  nor  silver,  and  that  it  was  not  easy  to  make  the 
wealth,  which  New  Spain  possessed  within  it,  flow  in 
Louysiana,  the  province  suddenly  fell  under  general  cen- 
sure :  no  one  regarded  the  fertility  of  the  soil,  or  the  pro- 
ductions it  would  yield  with  moderate  toil,  nor  the  import- 
ance of  establishing  a  naval  station  on  the  Qulf  of  Mexi- 
co. The  treasures  brought  from  France  disappeared ;  meu 
died  of  want,  although  they  had  all  requisite  to  Uvo  iii  opu- 
lence, or  else  they  dispersed  on  all  sides,  as  we  shall  see  in 
the  sequel  of  this  history. 
wltaM  in  When  d'Iberville  left  it,  in  April,  1700,  Louysiana  had  no 
French  settlements  except  those  of  some  Canadians,  in 
Illinois,  a  fort  near  the  mouth  of  the  Micissipi,  which  last- 
ed only  till  1705,  and  another  at  Biloxi  on  the  sea  shore. 
Mr.  de  Sanvole  commanded  in  this  latter,  which  was  the 
headquarters.  The  former  had  been  intrusted  by  d'Iber- 
ville to  his  brother  de  Bienville  and  the  Sieur  Juohe- 
reau  de  St.  Denys,'  his  wife's  uncle,  a  man  much  esteemed 
by  the  Indians,  and  a  fluent  speaker  of  the  languages  of 
several  nations.  He  had  also,  on  parting,  given  orders  to 
his  kinsman,  le  Sueur,  to  proceed  to  the  Sioux  country

another  river  emptying  on  the  left,  and  which  bus  boon 
called  Riviere  Verte,  (Green  llivor,)'  becauso  earth  falling 
from  the  mine  gives  it  that  color.  Le  Sueur  could  sail  up 
this  river  only  about  a  league,  finding  it  covered  with 
floating  ice,  although  it  was  only  the  end  of  September. 
This  compelled  him  to  throw  up  at  that  spot  a  kind  of 
to.  t>  to  pass  the  winter,  which  proved  extremely  severe, 
and  lasted  till  the  beginning  of  April.

having  run  out  of  provisions,  they  made  up  for  it  by  hunt-

they  quartered  them,  and  for  want  of  salt,  loft  them  in  the 
air,  where  they  soon  spoiled ;  that  at  first  they  found  it 
very  hard  to  accustom  themselves  to  this  food,  which  gave

that  thoy  could  not  oveu  bear  the  smell ;  but  t)>flir  stomach 
gradually  buciiiue  so  adapted  to  it,  that  at  the  end  of  six 
weeks  there  was  not  one  among  them  who  did  not  eat  ten 
pounds  a  day  and  drink  four  bowls  of  eoup ;  that  far  from 
being  atfoctod  by  it,  they  became  quite  fut,  and  not  one 
was  sick.' 

As  soon  as  April  cume,  le  Sueur  proceeded  to  the  mine, 
which  was  only  two  miles  and  a  quarter  distant,  and  in 
twenty-two  days  he  got  out  thirty  thousand  pounds  of  ore ; 
ho  picked  out  four  thousand  of  what  seemed  richest  and 
Bent  it  to  France.    The  spot  worked  by  him  is  at  the  be- 
ginning of  a  mountain  which  is  ten  leagues  long,  and  all 
apparently  of  the  same  character.     It  is  on  the  bank  of 
the  river,  does  not  produce  a  single  tree,  and  is  constantly 
enveloped  in  mists,  even  in  the  finest  weather.    The  soil 
where  the  ore  is  extracted  is  green,  and  you  ca  \  scratch 
the  copper  with  a  knife  ;  but  you  must  first  take  ofif  a  kind 
of  crust  as  hard  as  rock,  black  and  burned  like  coal  by  the 
vapor  issuing  from  the  ore.     Many  rather  iutorosting  inci- 
dents, too  long  to  detail  here,  but  still  more,  want  of  funds 
evented  le  Sueur  from  pushing  this  enterprise.* 
The  next  year  d'Iborvillo  made  a  third  voyage  to  Louy- 
siuna,  and  began  a  post  on  Maubile  River.    He  even  laid 
the  foundations  of  a  fort  to  which  de  Bienville,  (who  be- 
came commandant  on  do   Sauvole's   death,)  soon  after 
transferred  all  that  there  was  at  Biloxi,  abandoning  the 
latter  post."    In  1702  d'Iberville  returned  for  the  fourth 
time  and  erected  on  Massacre  Island  storehouses  and  bar- 
racks, because  as  that  island  had  a  port,  it  was  much 
easier  to  loud  goods  brought  from  France  there,  than  to 
Bend  them  on  sloops  to  Fort  Maubile.'  It  was  at  this  time

^'■'>'^"  Louysiona,  or  at  least  it  did  not  begin  to  take  sbapo  till 
Arrivniofa  tlio  an'ival  of  Diron  d'Artaguotto  as  Commissaii-e  Ordon- 
Bnir""orI  Dftteur  iu  1708.    This  magistrate's  first  care  was  to  enable 
dounutcur.  jjjg  gettlers  to  cultivate  the  soil,  which  seemed  quite  fertile 
along  Maubilo  llivor,  so  that  they  might  not  be  obliged  to 
wander  aboiit,  living  by  hunting  or  with  the  Indians  when- 
ever the  ships  from  France  were  late  in  bringing  pro- 
visions, as  it  happened  on  several  occasions.' 

But  success  did  not  crown  his  hopes.  Around  Maubile 
there  is  only  a  mere  surface  of  good  soil,  and  moreover, 
wheat  can  never  ripen  there  well  on  account  of  the  fogs, 
which  produce  rust.  They  made  up  for  this  for  some  time 
by  raising  tobacco,  which  succeeded  better."  D'Artaguette, 
in  a  letter  dated  January  10th,  1711,  says  tliat  Maubile 
tobacco  was  esteemed  above  the  Virginian. 

He  added  that  in  the  month  of  September  of  the  preced- 
ing year,  an  Enghsh  corsair  had  ravaged  Dauphin  Island, 
plundered  and  bm'ned  the  houses  and  stores,  wreaked  unpar- 
alleled cruelties  on  the  people  to  force  them  to  tell  where 
they  hud  hidden  their  money,  and  that  the  damage  done  to 
the  King  and  to  individuals  amounted  to  eighty  thousand 
francs,'  whence  he  concluded  that  it  was  absolutely  neces- 
sary to  fortify  the  island.  The  Commissaire  reasoned  well 
according  to  the  prevailing  idea,  which  was  to  plant  the

a  site  so  badly  selected  that  it  was

year.   Penicaut,  ch.  11,  12.

that  the  best  course  would  be  to   transfer  settlers   and 
storehouses  to  the  Micissipi,  as  they  wore  subsequently 
obliged  to  do.' 

D'Artaguette  returned  to  France  the  same  year,  and  Louysiano 
gave  the  court  a  great  deal  of  light  as  to  Louysiana.  crozuL* 
Some  years  before,  do  Muys,  major  of  the  forces  in  Cana- 
da, and  heretofore  mentioned,  had  been  appointed  Gover- 
nor of  Louysiana,  but  that  officer  dying  on  the  way,  the 
King  appointed  as  his  Successor  the  Sieur  de  la  Motte 
Cadillac,"  and  in  the  instructions  given  him  it  was  stated, 
that  the  King,  having  deemed  proper  to  grant  to  the 
Sieur  Crozat  the  monopoly  of  the  Louysiana  trade  for 
sixteen  yi;ars,  with  an  absolute  right  in  perpetuity  to  him 
and  his  heirs  in  the  mines,  veins  and  minerals,  discovered 
and  worked  on  the  conditions  laid  down  in  his  Letters  Pa- 
tent, the  King  wished  the  Governor  to  examine  on  the  ar- 
rival of  every  one  of  said  Sieur  Crozat's  ships,  whether 
the  condition  of  carrying  out  six  unmarried  young  men  or 
women  by  each  ship  was  complied  with.' 

The  King  added  that  tlie  Sieur  d'Artaguette,  commia-  pstabiish-

'  ~"'  lation  being  so  small,  he  had  nevertheless  deemed  it  best 

to  establish  a  Superior  Council  there  for  three  years,  to 

judge   all  matters,  civil  and  criminal;  to  compose  this 

council,  ho  selected  the  Governor  and  Commissaii-e  Or- 

dounateur  jointly,  and  one  clerk ;  that  by  their  conduct  in 

discharging  the  judicial  powers  vested  in  them,  he  would 

decide  either  to  continue  and  increase  the  powers  of  the 

CouncU  or  abandon  it.' 

Spiuatrdg      Meanwhile,  de  Crozat  had  recommended  de  la  Motte 

refuse  to   Cadillac,  whom  he  had  made  a  partner  in  his  trade,  to  send 

allow  trade  *^  _  ' 

between    detachments  towards  the  lUinois  to  discover  mines :  and 

Louysiaiia 

and  towards  the  Spaniards  of  Old  and  New  Mexico,  to  open 
trade  with  those  two  provinces.  I  have  spoken  in  my 
Journal  °  at  length  on  the  former  of  these  two  enterprises, 
which  kept  all  France  in  suspense  for  several  j  ears,  and 
at  last  came  to  nothing. 

Nor  was  the  second  more  successful.  Scarcely  had  La 
Motte  Cadillac  landed  at  Dauphin  Island,'  before  he  dis- 
patched the  ship  that  had  brought  him  to  Vera  Cruz  ;  but 
this  voyage  was  useless.  Mr.  de  la  Jonchere  *  who  com- 
manded the  vessel,  could  not  obtain  the  Viceroy's  permis- 
sion to  sell  his  cargo ;  the  Viceroy  presented  him  some  cat-

This  expedition  he  confided  to  the  Sieur  de  St.  Denys," 
and  it  could  not  have  been  placed  in  better  hands.  The  Gov- 
ernor gave  him  ten  thousand  francs'  worth  of  goods,  and 
agreed  with  him  that  they  were  to  be  stored  among  the 
Natchitoches,  an  Indian  tribe  on  Red  River,  with  whom  de 
Bienville  and  this  same  Saint  Denys  had  formed  an  alli- 
ance in  1701,  and  of  which  some  members  had,  within  a 
few  years,  settled  on  the  Micissipi,  near  the  Colapissas. 

Saint  Denys,  deeming  it  expedient  to  take  these  Natchi- 
toches with  him,  proposed  it  through  Penicaut,  a  ship-car- 
penter. This  man  had  accompanied  lo  Sueur  to  his  cop- 
per-mine :  he  had  made  several  other  excursions  on  the 
Micissipi,  and  understood  almost  all  the  Indian  languages 
of  Louysiana.  He  himself  had  brought  the  Natchitoches 
to  the  Colapissas,  and  had  no  difficulty  in  persuading  them 
to  return  to  their  former  abode  with  de  Saint  Denys. 

But  the  Colapissas,  who  had  received  them  with  great 
humanity,  and  who  had  found  them  not  useless,  were  so 
offended  to  see  them  depart  without  even  any  apology, 
that  they  pursued  them,  killed  seventeen,  and  carried  off  a 
great  many  of  their  women  and  children.  The  rest  es- 
caped through  the  woods  and  reacln  d  de  Saint  Denys, 
who  was  awaiting  them  at  Biloxi.  He  set  out  with  them, 
and  passing  through  the  village  of  the  Tonicas,  induced

whom  he  intended  to  station  there  ;  ho  induced  some  other 
Indians  to  join  the  Natchitoches,  assuring  them  that  ho 
would  never  forsake  them,  and  he  distributed  among  both, 
agricultural  implements  and  seed  to  sow.  He  then  select- 
ed twelve  of  the  Frenchmen  whom  he  had  brought  along, 
and  some  Indians,  and  leaving  Red  Eiver,  which  is  not 
navigable  above  the  Island  of  the  Natchitoches,  took  his 
route  westward. 

After  twenty  days'  march  he  reached  the  Assinais,*

But  the  fact  is,  that  these  Indians  did  not  recollect  to 
have  ever  before  seen  Frenchmen,  or  know  any  other  Eu-

selves and  lived  miserably.  The  Assinais  gave  de  Saint

leagues  further  to  the  southwest,  before  reaching  the  first 
Spanish  settlements. 

At  last  he  found,  on  the  banks  of  a  great  river,  a  fort 
which  bore  the  name  of  San  Juan  Bautista,  and  Presidio

as  Medard  Jallot,  his  valet  de  chambre,  surgeon,  and  Pe-

1710-25.  Saint  Denys  held  no  rank  in  Louysiana,  serving  only  as 
a  volunteer ;  hero  he  was  oflfered  a  company  in  the  caval- 
ry, an  offer  to  tempt  a  Canadian  officer  without  means ;  he 
refused  it,  however,  and  iu  spite  of  all  they  could  say,  ad- 
hered to  his  refusal.  The  Viceroy  told  him  that  he  was 
already  half  a  Spaniard,  as  ho  sought  the  hand  of  the 
daughter  of  Don  Pedro  de  Vilescas,  and  was  to  marry  her 
on  his  return  to  Fort  San  Juan. 

Saint  Denys  replied :  "  I  cannot  dissemble,  since  your 
excellency  is  informed  that  I  love  that  lady,  but  I  had 
not  indulged  the  hope  of  winning  her  as  my  wife."  "  You 
will  obtain  it,"  said  the  Viceroy,  "  if  you  accept  the  offer  I 
have  made,  and  I  give  you  two  months  to  consider  it." 
At  the  end  of  that  time  he  sounded  him  again,  and  finding 
him  inflexible,  dismissed  him,  placing  in  his  hands  a 
purse  of  a  thousand  dollars,  saying  that  it  was  for  his 
wedding  expenses.  "  I  hope,"  ho  added,  "  that  Doiia  Ma- 
ria will  be  more  fortunate  than  myself  in  persuading  you 
to  remain  in  New  Spain.  As  for  establishing  trade  with 
Louysiana,  which  you  have  come  so  far  to  solicit,  it  is  not 
possible  for  me  to  grant  it  to  you." 

The  next  day  he  sent  him  a  very  fine  bay  horse  from 
Spauiurds  ^^^  stables,  and  had  him  escorted  '  to  Caouis  by  an  offi- 
cer and  two  mounted  men.  There  he  found  Jallot  await- 
ing him,  his  surgical  skill  having  won  him  very  great  respect 
in  the  country.  They  proceeded  to  the  quarters  of  Don 
Pedro  de  Vilescas,'  whom  they  found  in  great  pei-plexity. 
That  commandant  had  just  learned  that  the  whole  popu- 
lation of  f'^ur  Indian  to^vns,  exasperated  at  the  oppression 
of  the  Spaniards  at  Presidio  del  Norte,  had  just  set  out  to 
emigrate  elsewhere,  and  he  feared  to  be  held  responsible 
for  this  desertion,  which,  moreover,  reduced  his  fort  to 
great  extremity,  as  the  garrison  owed  its  subsistence 
almost  entirely  to  these  very  Indians. 

On  imparting  his  troubles  to  de  Saint  Denys,  the  lattei 
offered  to  go  to  the  Indians,  confident  that  he  could  recall

them.  Don  Pedro  embraced  him,  but  warned  him  of  the 
great  risk  of  going  alone  ;  Saint  Denys  replied  that  he 
felt  no  fear,  and  at  once  with  Jallot  mounted  his  horse. 
He  soon  overtook  the  Indians,  whose  baggage,  men  '  and 
children  rendered  the  march  very  slow.  As  soon  as  he 
perceived  them  at  a  distance,  ho  put  his  handkerchief  on 
a  rod  as  a  flag,  then  advanced  towards  the  chiefs,  who 
awaited  his  approach. 

He  showed  them,  using  the  Spanish  language,  to  what 
dangers  they  would  be  exposed  by  venturing  among  tribes 
i,nat  they  did  not  know,  but  whom  he  knew  to  be  very  un- 
sociable and  cruel.  He  then  told  them  that  if  they  would 
return  to  their  former  abode,  he  would  guarantee,  in  the 
name  of  the  commandant,  that  no  Spaniard  should  ever 
set  foot  in  their  villages  unless  they  approved  it,  and  that 
in  the  future  they  should  have  only  reason  to  praise  the 
officers  and  soldiers. 

They  yielded  to  his  arguments,  and  Don  Pedro  was  no 
less  surprised  than  delighted  to  see  his  guest  return  with 
all  the  Indians,  whose  flight  would  undoubtedly  have 
proved  his  ruin.  He  instantly  ratified  all  the  promises 
made  by  Saint  Denys,  and  they  returned  to  their  towns, 
which  the  Spaniards  were  forbidden  to  enter  under  pain 
of  death,  unless  by  express  permission.' 

After  this  great  service,  Saint  Denys  had  no  difficulty  in 
inducing  Yilescas  to  give  him  his  daughter  in  marriage, 
and  the  wedding  was  celebrated  with  all  the  Spanish 
pomp  and  magnificence  that  the  place  permitted.  The 
newly-married  pair  remained  there  together  six  months, 
when  Saint  Denys  thought  that  he  should  no  longer  delay 
in  returning  to  report  to  de  la  Motte  Cadillac  tho  result  of 

Bionaries,  made  them  regard  the

Vilescas,  his  wife's  uncle,  leaving  her  with  child  and  pro- 
mising to  return  as  soon  as  poisible  for  her.' 

During  the  whole  course  of  these  negotiations  and  ad- 
ventures, the  Governor  of  Louysiana  had  sent  the  Sieur 
de  la  Loire  to  the  Natchez,  with  goods  to  establish  store- 
houses. There  he  found  Englishmen  from  Carolina,  come 
to  induce  these  Indians,  with  the  Yazous  and  CI"'  has' 
to  declare  war  on  other  nations,  so  as  to  bring  in  captives, 
and  it  was  all  carried  out.  They  were  even  su.r  oected  of 
intriguing  against  us,  and  la  Loire  soon  after  received 
orders  to  arrest  their  officer,  who  had  remained  alone 
among  the  Natchez. 

He  obeyed,  and  the  officer  was  taken  to  Maubile,  where 
Mr.  de  Bienville,  who  command'^d  there  in  the  absence  of 
Mr.  de  la  Motte  Cadillac,  regaled  him  well  for  three  days» 
after  which  he  permitted  him  to  return.  He  took  his 
route  by  Pensacola,  where  the  governor,  Don  Guzman, 
also  gave  him  a  cordial  welcome  ;  but  while  endeavoring 
to  reach  Carolina  through  the  Alibamons,  he  fell  in  with  a 
hunting  band  of  Tomez  Indians,  who  tomahawked  him. 
What  then  roused  these  Indians  against  the  English,  does 
not  appear,  but  most  of  them  suddenly  rose  against  them. 

They  had  a  warehouse  in  a  Tchactas  (Choctaw)  village, 
which  these  Indians  plundered,  murdering  all  who  had 
charge  of  it.  This  was  but  the  commencement  of  their

pretended   discoveries,   which    so   deluded   the    French, 
though  much  more  in  Europe  than  in  America.     There 
was  more  reality   in   a  deputation  which  the  Governor 
received  on  his  arrival  at  Maubile.    A  chief  highly  es- 
teemed in  the  country,  came  in  to  form  an  alliance  with 
him  in  the  name    of  several  tribes,   and  at  the  same

'7'3-*5'  do  tho  same  to  the  Messieurs  do  la  Loire,  the  elder  of 
whom  had  set  out  for  the  Illinois  with  another  party  of 
these  savftgea,  while  tho  younger  remained  in  iheir  great 
village.  But  one  of  those  who  accompanied  tho  former, 
warned  him  to  bo  on  his  guard.  Ho  immediately  spoke  to 
all  the  others  in  private,  and  without  revealing  the  namo 
of  his  informant,  ho  promised  them  a  great  reward,  and 
gave  them  his  word  to  keep  their  secret  if  they  acknowl- 
edged tho  truth. 

All  declared  that  at  a  point  six  loagiies  further  on,  where 
they  would  have  to  run  close  by  tho  shore  to  avoid  a  very 
dangerous  whirlpool,  a  party  of  one  hundred  and  fifty  of 
their  tribe,  armed  with  muskets,  were  lying  in  wait  for 
them,  commanded  by  a  chief  named  le  Barbu,  and  that  he 
would  infallibly  be  slain  there.  This  avowal  of  eight  men, 
all  stating  the  same  thing,  indi^ced  la  Loire  to  turn  back ; 
but  as }  0  had  every  reason  to  believe  that  there  was  a 
general  conspiracy  among  tho  Natchez,  he  was  filled  with 
anxiety  in  regard  to  his  brother. 

Penicaut,  who  accompanied  him,  offered  to  rescue  him 
from  the  great  village  of  the  Natchez,  and  adopted  these 
steps  to  effect  his  design.  The  whole  party  having  arrived 
about  an  hour  and  a  half  before  nightfall  at  the  Natchez 
landing,  Penicaut  went  ashore  alone,  telling  la  Loire  to 
wait  for  him  till  midnight,  and  that  if  he  did  not  appear  by 
that  time,  to  give  him  up  for  dead ;  in  which  case  his  only 
course  would  be  to  push  on.  He  then  advanced  towards 
the  cabin  of  the  younger  la  Loire,  w  jich  was  a  league  dis- 
tant, carrying  only  his  gun,  powder-flask  and  a  few  balls. 

As  he  approached  the  village,  some  Natchez,  who  per- 
ceived him,  ran  to  tell  la  Loire  that  a  Frenchman  was 
coming ;  he  came  out  to  see  who  it  was,  and  recognizing 
Penicaut,  asked  tidings  of  his  brother  and  the  reason  of 
his  coming.  Penicaut  told  him  that  he  had  fallen  sick  ; 
but  once  in  his  cabin,  he  told  him  to  send  for  the  Great 
Chief  of  the  Natchez,  who  came  at  once.  Penicaut  told 
him  that  six  of  the  eight  Natchez  who  had  started  with 
the  Sieur  de  la  Loire  and  him,  to  go  to  the  Illinois,  hav-

wore  all  at  tlio  lauding,  ami  ho  bi'^'gcil  him  to  Hend  thirty  "-^-r-— 
luiliaus  oarly  in  tho  luorninf^  to  nuloail  tho  cauoo  and 
transport  tho  goods  to  tho  warohouso. 

This  tho  Groat  Chiof  proniisod,  and  ho  added  that  Mr. 
de  la  Loire  had  done  well  to  go  no  further,  as  he  had 
been  very  anxious  about  him  on  account  of  tho  Yazoos,  a 
treacherous  tribe,  hostile  to  the  French.  Peuioant  mado 
no  reply,  and  manifested  absolute  confidouco  in  tho  chief ; 
but  when  tho  latter  retired,  ho  informed  la  Loire  of  tho 
motive  of  his  coming,  and  showed  him  that  ho  must  think 
only  of  escaping,  and  that  there  was  not  a  moment  to  lo.so. 
This  was  no  easy  matter,  la  Loire  told  him,  as  three  In- 
diana slept  in  his  room  ;  but  Ponicaut  reassured  him,  aad 
was  sanguiue  of  success. 

When  it  was  really  night,  they  lay  down,  and  tho  In- 
dians first  fell  asleep  ;  Fenicaut  would  have  stabbed  them, 
but  la  Loire  prerented  him,  thinking  it  not  easy  to  kill 
three  men  before  one  of  them  might  have  a  chance  to  cry 
out.  Fenicaut  then  gently  opened  the  door  and  let  out  la 
Loire,  who  had  taken  the  precaution  of  loading  his  gun. 
A  few  minutes  later  he  glided  out  himself,  double 
locked  the  room  on  the  outside  and  r  a  after  his 
companion,  whom  he  soon  overtook.  As  they  approached 
the  landing,  they  met  the  older  la  Loire,  who  had  begun 
to  bo  alarmed  ;  they  embarked  at  once,  and  dismissed  the 
eight  Natchez  after  liberally  rewarding  them.' 

About  ten  o'clock   in   the  morning  they  reached  the  Thechiufof 
Tonicas,   and   while    they    were    there,   they    saw   thi'eo   n^fusisto

to  induce  him  to  massacre  all  the  French  who  were  in  his 
village.    The  Tonica,  who  was  an  upright  man,  a  sincere 
friend  of  the  French,  was  indignant  at  such  a  proposal.'

tho  two  brothers  who  had  just  e8cai)od  from  tho  Natchoz.' 
As  thoy  passed  before  tho  liay  of  tho  Tonicas,  they  noticed 
a  bag  hanging  from  tho  branch  of  a  tico  on  tho  river  sido, 
and  in  this  bag  thoy  found  a  letter  from  Mr.  Davion,  wlio, 
UHCortainiiig  that  they  wouhl  pass  by  thero  without  stop- 
ping, informed  them  that  a  Frenchman  named  Richard,  ou 
his  way  from  tho  Illinois,  had  been  taken  by  the  Natchez; 
that  these  savages,  after  plundering  him  of  all  his  goods, 
had  taken  him  to  their  village,  cut  off  his  foet  and  hands, 
and  cast  him,  still  living,  into  a  mudholo.' 

Up  to  this  time,  Mr.  de  Bienville  had  imagined  that  tho 
Messrs.  do  la  Loiro  had  been  seized  with  a  mere  panic  ; 
tho  perusal  of  this  letter  disabused  him.  He  did  not 
even  deem  himself  strong  enough  to  march  direct  ui)on 
tho  Natchez ;  he  entered  tho  Bay  of  tho  Tonicas,  built 
a  fort,  and  sent  du  Tisno  >''^h  twenty  men  to  tho  Great 
Chief  of  the  Natchez,  tn  tell  him  that  he  had  some 
matters  to  impart  to  him,  and  that  he  begged  tho  chief  to 
meet  him  at  the  Tonicas.  Du  Tisno  returned  tho  next 
day  and  informed  de  Bienville  that  tho  Great  Chief  would 
soon  follow  him.  He  did  not,  however,  leave  his  village, 
but  sent  to  the  French  commandant  some  subaltern  chiefs, 
with  about  twenty-five  men.

which  so  startli'd  those  sav.ii^nH,  that  tii(>y  (^ave  theiusolvos

had  coino  to  exact  satisfaction  for  tlio  murder  of  the  live 
Fronchmeu  which  they  had  committed ;  that  ho  wished 
them  either  to  deliver  up  the  murderers,  or  at  least  bring 
in  theii  heads. 

What  he  demanded,  was,  they  replied,  not  in  their 
power ;  but  if  ho  so  ilosired,  they  would  send  some  of  their 
party  to  their  Great  Chief,  to  notify  him  of  the  comman- 
dant's intentions.  Ho  consented  on  condition  that  all  tho 
others  should  remain  his  prisoners,  and  ho  at  once  had 
them  conveyed  to  a  c.ibin,  whoro  a  strict  watch  was 
kept  over  them.'  Those  who  went  to  tho  Natchez  soon 
returned  and  presented  to  tho  commandant  the  head  of 
a  man'  whom  tho  Great  Chief  had  put  to  death,  but 
who  really  was  not  ono  of  tho  murderers.  Bionvillo 
asked  them  whether  thoy  intended  to  make  game  of 
him,  and  added  that  ho  must  havo  thj  heads  of  the 
culprits,  especially  tho  head  of  a  chief  whom  he  hod 
named  expressly. 

The  envoys  replied  that  this  chief  was  tho  nephow  of 
the  Sun,  who  would  sooner  see  his  whole  village  perish 
than  sacrifice  that  young  man,  the  bravest  of  all  his  na- 
tion ;  that  besides,  ho  had  among  those  detained  by  him, 
the  four  murderers  of  the  French,  and  might  bring  them 
to  justice.     Bienville  at  once  had  them  brought  up  :  they

"^^"""^  their  brains  dashed  out  with  chibs.  Among  them  was 
one  chief  so  notorious  throughout  tlie  country  for  his  cru- 
elties and  acts  of  treachery,  that  all  the  nations  had  long 
desired  his  death." 

This  expedition  ended,  a  consultation  was  held  on  the 
most  expedient  course  in  the  actual  conjuncture,  and  it 
was  unanimously  decided,  that  as  the  Natchez,  if  driven  to 
extremes,  were  able  to  interrupt  the  navigation  of  the 
river  and  all  communication  with  the  Illinois,  it  was  better 
to  profit  by  the  terror  which  we  had  succeeded  in  inspir- 
ing, to  make  an  advantageous  peace  with  them,  and  to 
offer  as  a  favor  the  following  conditions  : 

1.  Ihat  they  should  erect  at  their  own  expense,  and  in  a 
place  to  be  assigned  in  their  great  village,  a  fort  with 
storehouses  and  barracks  necessary  for  the  garrison  and 
the  storekeepers  to  be  established  there.  ~  2.  That  they 
should  restore  all  the  goods  taken  from  the  French,  and 
make  full  reparation  for  all  the  other  losses  which  they 
had  caused.  3.  That  the  Great  Chief's  nephew,  of  whom 
complaint  wa-s  made,  should  not  appear  in  the  village,  un- 
der the  penalty  of  having  his  head  broken.  These  articles 
were  read  to  the  deputies,  who  approved  them,  and  Mr.  de 
Pailloux  was  dispatched  with  twenty  men  to  have  them 
ratified  by  the  Great  Chief.' 

He  entered  the  village  with  drums  beating  and  ensign 
unfurled ;  the  whole  tribe,  \vho  loved  the  French,  came  out 
to  meet  him,  and  received  him  with  great  acclamations. 
He  went  directly  to  the  Sun's  cabin  and  presented  to  him 
the  conditions  of  peace :  the  chief  accepted  them,  and 
said  that  he  simply  awaited  Mr.  de  Bienville's  orders  to 
begin  work  on  the  fort-  and  on  this  reply,  which  was 
communicated  to  the  commandant,  he  came  up  from  the

Tonicaa  with  fifty  men  to  the  Natchez,  where  the  Sun,    1712-25 
followed  by  all  his  towns,  received  him  as  he  disembarked 
from  his  canoe. 

The  next  day  he  selected  the  spot  where  he  wished  tho 
fort  erected ;  it  was  laid  out  at  once,  and  do  Pailloux  ap- 
pointed to  superintend  the  work.  It  was  completed  at  the 
end  of  six  weeks,  and  Bienville,  who  had  returned  to  his 
camp  at  the  Tonicas,  came  up  with  all  tie  French  to  take 
possession.  He  added  quarters  for  the  officers,  barracks 
Tor  the  soldiers  and  magazines  both  for  merchandise  and 
for  ammunition  and  army  stores. 

The  fort  was  named  Rosalie,  after  Madame  de  Pont- 
chartrain,  wife  of  tho  Chancellor,  a  iiame,  as  I  have  else- 
where observed,  already  proposed  by  Mr.  d'Iberville  for  a 
city  which  he  designed  founding  at  this  very  spot.  The 
Natchez  then  sang  the  calumet  to  Mr.  do  Bienville,'  who 
spent  all  the  rest  of  that  year,  1714'  at  Rosalie.  Before 
leaving  it,  he  placed  the  Sieur  de  Pailloux  in  command, 
assigning  to  him  du  Tisno  aa  lieutenant.  He  proceeded 
at  once  to  Maubile,  where  he  remained  only  long  enough 
to  prepare  a  great  convoy,  which  he  himself  conducted  to 
the  Natchez. 

It  was  about  the  same  time  that  Mr.  de  Saint  Denys 
arrived  at  Maubile,  and  as  the  reply  which  he  bore  from 
the  Viceroy  of  Now  Spain  deprived  de  la  Motte  Cadillac 
of  all  hope  of  carrying  on  trade  with  the  Spaniards 
openly,  he  thought  it  his  duty  to  prevent  their  approach- 
ing too  closely  to  us,  as  they  seemed  bent  on  doing ;  with 
this  view,  he  dispatched  the  Sieur  du  Tisne  to  build  & 
fort  on  the  Island  of  the  Natchitoches.  Scarcely  was 
this  fort  completed  when  du  Tisno  was  informed  that  the 
Spaniards  had  established  a  post  among  the  Assinais, 
and  there  was  every  reason  to  believe  that  they  designed 
to  push  on  to  vhe  Micissipi,  had  they  not  been  preveut-

state  of        Meanwhile,  the  exclusive  commerce  granted  to  Crozat 
commerce  ^"  1712,  far  from  accelerating  the  progress  of  the  Colony 
of  Louysiana,  had  been  prejudicial  to  it,  nor  had  Crozat 
derived  from  it  all  the  benefit  he  had  promised  himself. 
These  two  things  always  go  together ;  to  acquire  wealth 
by  the  trade  of  a  colony,  it  must  be  peopled,  and  the 
inhabitants  made  consumers  of  the  goods  sent  there,  giv- 
ing in  return.    This  cannot  be  attained  without  great  out- 
lay.    The  a  engaged  in  such  enterprises  must  select  care- 
fully  the  men    to  whom    V  3y    confide    their  interests. 
Nothing  of  this  was  done,  and  all  parties  sufl'ered. 

To  understand  well  what  the  sequel  of  this  history 
obliges  me  to  aay  on  this  point,  we  must  go  back  a  little, 
and  state  more  in  detail  the  actual  position  of  Louysiana, 
•when  Crozat  obtained  the  privilege  above  mentioned,  and 
the  position  when  he  renounced  that  privilege.  In  1712 
there  were  in  all  that  province  only  twenty-eight  French 
families,  not  half  of  them  engaged  in  cultivating  the  soil, 
or  pruperly  styled  settlers ;  the  rest  were  traders,  inn- 
keepers and  mechanics  not  permanently  settled  in  any 
place. 

Trade  was  then  conducted  only  at  Maubile  and  Isle 
Dauphine,  and  the  only  articles  were  planks,  bear,  deer 
and  cat-skins  and  other  like  furs.  The  voyageurs  or 
bushlopers,  almost  all  Canadians,  went  to  the  Indians,  to 
barter  such  French  goods  as  they  could  get,  for  peltries 


St.  Denys  was  on  good  terras 
witli  bia  Spanish  neiglibi)rs,  and  aa 
Spanish  authorities  show,  ronihjri.'d 
them  good  service.  Bonilla  says 
he  facilitated  tlio  entrance  of  the 
Spaniards  into  Texas,  and  by  his 
amiable  manners  won  the  Indiana, 
and  gave  the  most  constant  ])ro()fs 
of  his  good  faith.  Yet  tlie  Spanish 
government  ordered  him  to  be  car- 
ried otf  to  (Kiateinala,  and  Ramon 
to  be  removed  from  the  frontier,  a 


disgrace  which  the  latter  escaped 
by  death  in  1731,  having  been 
killed  by  the  Indians.  Bonilla, Com-

and  slaves,  which  thoy  then  sold  to  the  settlers;  these  1716-25. 
last  sold  the  peltries  again  to  the  Spaniards  at  Pousa-  ""■  '^' 
cola,  or  the  vessels  which  occasionally  came  from  Franco, 
and  they  emiiloyod  these  slaves  in  clearing  the  ground,  or 
sawing  planks,  for  which  they  found  a  market  sometimes 
at  Peusacola,  more  frequently  at  Martini(jue  or  St.  Do- 
mingo. They  obtained  from  these  colonies  in  exchange, 
sugar,  tobacco,  cacao  and  French  goods  when  there  had 
been  a  long  delay  in  receiving  them  direct. 

They  also  carried  to  Pensacola,  where  the  Spaniards 
bad  cleared  no  land,  vegetables,  Indian  corn,  poultry,  and 
in  general,  all  the  products  of  their  industry  which  their 
less  ingenious  and  less  laborious  neighbors  needed.  All 
this  brought  in  a  little  money,  with  which  they  purchased 
what  they  wero  obliged  to  obtain  from  abroad :  it  was  not 
enough  to  enrich  them,  but  they  had  quite  an  easy  life. 
They  had  also  learned  that  the  country  would  produce 
tobacco,  indigo,  cotton  and  silk,  but  there  were  no  hands 
for  all  these  crops ;  there  was  no  one  in  the  colony  who 
could  aid  them,  or  who  thought  of  encouraging  them; 
they  did  not  even  know  the  method  of  cultivating  these 
plants. 

Moreover,  the  colony  was  by  no  means  solidly  estab- 
lished, so  that  there  was  always  a  fear  that  the  King 
woiild  abandon  it,  and  all  the  care  and  pains  they  might 
take  would  bo  lost.  Many  even  retired  elsewhere,  and 
others  remained  only  because  thoy  lacked  means  to  go. 
It  is  astonishing  that  Mr.  Crozat,  when  acquiring  the  do- 
main of  Louysiana  with  the  exclusive  right  to  trade  for 
twenty-five  years,  did  not  inform  himself  of  the  real  state 
of  things,  so  as  to  form  his  plans  on  these  necessary 
data :  but  it  is  quite  ordinary  on  these  occasions  to  dis- 
trust the  very  persons  from  whom  the  most  correct  infor- 
mation can  be  obtained,  and  whose  experience  fits  them 
most  to  second  a  new  enterprise.  It  is  feared  that  they 
will  sacrifice  the  new  proprietary's  interests  to  their  own, 
and  men  do  not  reflect  that  the  surest  way  to  succeed  in 
such  afi'airs  is  to  interest  those  who  are  most  versed  in  it,

1716-36.  j5o  that  they  shall  sco  their  own  advantage  in  the  success 
of  the  enterprise. 

This  Mr.  Crozat  failed  to  do,  and  he  did  not  under- 
stand that  nothing  can  bo  derived  from  a  country,  how 
good  soever  it  may  be,  when  the  sott'or  is  not  allowed  to 
grow  richei".  Scarcely  had  he  taken  possession  of  his  ex- 
clusivr  trade,  when  the  vessels  from  the  West  Indies 
ceased  to  appear  in  Lonysiana.  At  the  same  time  the 
settlers  were  forbidden  to  go  to  Pensacola,  the  very 
source  whence  all  the  money  cime  that  was  current  in  the 
colony,  or  to  sell  anything  whiitcver  except  to  Crozat's 
agents,  who  thus  found  themselves  in  a  position  to  piit  on 
the  colonial  products  such  values  as  they  chose  ;  a  power 
which  they  did  not  fail  to  abuse ;  at  last  they  ra*^od  pel- 
tries so  low,  that  the  hunters,  finding  it  more  profitable 
to  dispose  of  them  in  Canada  and  the  English  colonics, 
carried  them  all  there. 

By  pursuing  just  the  opposite  course,  Crozat's  company 
would  have  acqi;ired  credit  and  secured  the  confidence  of 
the  colonists,  after  whicli  it  might  have  led  them  to  its 
object,  when  it  had  increased  their  number  and  induced 
them  to  dei'ivo  from  their  country  all  that  it  could  pro- 
duce. But  by  cutting  them  oflf  fi'om  the  little  vein  of  sil- 
ver flowing  in  from  Pensacola,  by  depressing  the  price  of 
their  products  and  wares,  by  fettering  their  commerce, 
which  they  understood  far  better  than  the  company,  and 
the  product  of  which  would  have  flowed  back  to  the  com- 
pany itself,  by  raising  the  price  of  what  they  wore 
obliged  to  elraw  from  France,  it  left  them  unable  to  sub- 
sist, and  still  more  to  make  their  lands  available. 

This  decline  of  Lonysiana  trade  and  cultivation  could 
not  but  prove  highly  injurious  to  the  King  also,  if  we  re- 
flect tliat  after  the  twenty-five  years  for  which  Crozat's 
monopoly  was  to  last,  the  colony  would  be  found  loss  ad- 
vanced than  it  was  when  granted  to  him,  and  his  majesty 
was  not  compensated  by  the  fifty  tons  freight  which  the 
company  was  bound  to  give  him  on  its  vessels.  The 
King  indeed  thus  saved  the  expense  of  a  ship,  which  ho

would  havo  had  to  send  to  Louysiana,  to  carry  over  all    i7'6-36, 
required  for  tbo  siibsisteuco  of  tlio  troops;  but  there  was 
a  more  natural  way  of  saving  this,  or  rather  of  meeting 
this  expense  by  the  freight,  which  tho  vessel  would  be 
sure  to  find  at  Saint  Domingo. 

This  would  only  require  tho  fitting  out  of  a  170  ton 
frigate  every  year,  or  one  of  those  two  decked  English 
galleys,  which,  for  all  their  having  a  largo  hold,  arc  still 
good  failers,  and  managed  by  a  small  crow,  on  account  of 
the  lig  .'uess  of  their  movements.  In  fact,  I  say  nothing 
hero,  except  after  a  detailed  memoir  transmitted  at  the 
time  to  the  minister  by  Mr.  Duclos,  who,  a'i  already  no- 
ted, succeeded  Mr.  d'Artaguetto  in  the  office  of  Com- 
missaire  Ordonnateur  iu  Louysiana,  and  who  subse- 
quently held  the  same  office  at  Cap  Frangois  in  Saint 
Domingo,  where  ho  acted  so  well  during  tho  troubles  that 
occurred  in  that  colony  in  1723,  and  who  was  soon  after 
appointed  Intendant  of  the  Leeward  Isles. 

Crozat  saw  tho  damage  which  his  monopoly  did  to  tho 
King's  interests  sooner  than  he  did  the  injury  ho  inliicted 
on  tlie  people  of  Louysiana.  This  obliged  him  to  make 
new  propositions  to  his  majesty  on  the  5th  of  July,  171-1, 
with  the  view  of  enabling  tho  officers,  soldiers  and  other 
employees,  whom  the  King  maintained  in  the  colony,  to 
receive  their  ])ay  more  promptly,  as  well  as  consignments 
of  goods  and  munitions,  either  for  public  works,  or  for 
keeping  up  tho  forts,  or  for  tho  presents  annually  made  to 
the  Indians,  and  the  propositions  were  accepted.  He  had 
some  months  previously  presented  other  memoirs  full  of 
complaints  on  various  topics,  and  which  disclose  tho  fact 
that  great  complaints  were  made  in  Louysiana  against  his 
monopoly. 

His  complaints  were :  1.  That  the  weakness  of  tho  French 
in  that  colony  drew  on  them  tho  coutom^t  of  the  Indians, 
and  left  them  unable  to  prevent  those  savages  from  con- 
stantly making  war  on  each  other,  the  result  of  which 
was,  that  it  was  impossible  to  establish  any  kind  of  trade 
iu    tho    country,   nor   consequently   to  scud   yhips   from

fit. 2.  That  tho  English  were  coming  vwy  near  tho 
French,  who  cantonctl  on  the  Maubile  River  and  Dauphin 
Island,  whoro  tho  lands  are  worthlosa,  left  open  to  the 
English  all  tho  banks  of  *ho  Micissipi,  whoro  nothing 
prevented  their  settling,  and  then  penetrating  to  New 
Mexico  and  Now  Biscay :  this  was  a  general  complaint 
among  intelligent  persons.  3.  That  the  indifference  mani- 
fested in  France  for  Louysiana  was  inexplicable.  Mr. 
Crozat  did  not  hesitate  to  aver  that  if  the  advantages 
to  bo  derived  from  it  were  considered,  there  was  no  colo- 
ny which  it  was  more  important  for  the  state  to  preserve 
and  extend.  The  maritime  commerce,  said  he,  is  almost 
reduced  to  nothing.  Yet  it  is  only  by  the  voyages  of 
merchantmen  in  time  of  peace  that  sailors  are  formed, 
whom  the  King  can  employ  in  his  naval  forces  when  war 
is  declared.  Hence  li,  is,  as  a  general  thing,  important  to 
extend  navigation,  and  Ly  the  different  settlements  which 
might  be  made  in  Louysiana,  there  is  hope,  if  the  work  is 
seriously  begun,  that  the  commorce  of  that  country  will 
in  a  few  years  employ  a  considerable  number  of  ships. 
So  well  are  the  Englisli  convinced  of  the  importance  of 
the  Louysiana  colony,  that  it  is  only  necessary  to  ask  the 
Marshal  d'Uxellos  what  ho  hoard  them  say  at  Utrecht 
about  our  settlement  on  tho  Micissippi.  Their  conduct 
since  that  time  justifies  day  by  day  what  the  memoir  put 
forward  on  this  point.  4.  And  this  is  Crozat's  worst 
complain*'.,  and  at  tho  same  time  his  reply  to  the  objoc- 
tious  made  him  that  after  ^mdertaking  with  the  King  to 
colonize  Louysiana  and  establish  theri  all  kinds  of  trade, 
of  which  he  admitted  it  was  capable,  it  was  nevertheless 
in  a  worse  condition  tlian  when  he  took  control  of  it.  He 
complained  that  they  had  refused  to  register  his  Letters 
Patent  in  the  Council  of  that  province;  that  all  parties 
opposed  it,  and  that  this  opposition  was  fomented  l>y  the 
officers,  accustomod  to  trade  witli  tho  S[)auiard8.' 

It  was  apparently  in  the  endeavor  to  bring  tho  troops  to

month  of  March  of  that  year,  and  some  months  after  the 
Western  Company  appointed  Mr.  do  Bienville  Command- 
ant General  of  all  tho  province.  His  commission  bore  date 
September  20th,  but  he  did  not  receive  it  or  take  pos- 
session till  the  ensiling  year.  Mr.  do  I'Epinai  had  como

soon  dashed  bj  an  unforoseon  accident  which  disconcerted     cio9<* 
his  plans  and  rendered  useless  all  tho  money  just  expend- 
ed on  DauY)hin  Island.     Towards  tho  end  of  August,  tho 
mouth  of  the  only  harbor  on  •'      island  was  closed  by  a 
prodigious  collection  of  sai  ipod  up  there  by  a  hurri- 

cane.   Tho  island  itself  wns  almost  entirely   inundated, 
and  many  of  the  cattlo  were  drowned.' 

A  new  roadstead  had  to  bo  sought  for  the  ships,  and 
Isle  Surgero  was  selected,  afterwards  called  Islo  aux 
Vaisseaux — Ship  Island.  It  has,  howovor,  only  one  road- 
stead, a  tolerably  good  one,  except  when  tho  wind  blows 
from  tho  north,  or  northwest,  but  these  winds  are  rare 
tlioro,  and  not  violent.  To  protect  tho  ships,  a  small  fort 
was  built  on  tho  island,  and  tho  Dauphin  Island  estab- 
lishment was  transferred  to  Biloxi,  north  of  Ship  Island, 
though  s'.ips  cannot  approach  within  four  leagues  of  it. 

Nothing  shows  more  clearly  how  we  then  confined  our- 
selves to  tho  trade  that  might  bo  carried  on  vith  the 
Spaniards,  than  this  new  post :  for  the  soil  of  Biloxi  is  no 
better  than  that  of  Dauphin  Island,  and  that  post  has 
not  oven  a  roadstead  for  tho  smaller  brigantines.  It  is

In  tho  early  part  of  tho  following  year,  thoy  at  last 
thought  of  sounding  tho  mouth  of  tho  Micissipi,  to  see 
whether  ships  could  enter  with  all  their  cargo  on  board, 
and  sixteen  feet  of  water  were  found  on  tho  bar.  Tho 
Neptune,'  just  arrived  from  France,  was  at  onco  scut 
there,  and  it  ascended  without  any  difficulty  to  Now  Or- 
leans. It  is  astonishing,  that  after  this  experiment  men 
did  not  open  their  eyes  to  tho  importance  of  making  it  at 
onco  the  headquarters,  and  that  so  many  thousand  men 
•were  loft  to  waste  with  misery  and  disease  under  tho  pre- 
text that  there  wcro  not  battcaux  ouougli  to  ciauspoit

brought  them  from  Franco  might  have  laudod  tliem  at 
Now  Orleans,  and  oven  nearer  to  their  ooucossions.

Chevalier  d'Artagiiotto,  both  brothers  of  tho  former  Com-

oro  long  was  declared  luspootor-Gonoral  of  Louysiaua;

At  tho  same  timo  sovoral  Indian  tribes,  somo  of  which 
had  long  seemed  hostilo  to  tho  French,  Ijko  tho  Chotima-

and  as  nur  i  of  tlieso  tribes  aro  accustomed  to  tho  cvdtiva-

sourco  for  tho  city,  since  tho  Indians  often  in  need  sup- 
plied it  with  provisions.  Some  of  tho  Concessionaries  also 
sent  part  of  their  people  up  this  river,  and  tho  advanta- 
ges they  found  thoro  for  settling  permanently,  made  all 
who  had  tho  general  good  at  heart,  rogret  that  tho  other 
Concessionaries  wore  prevented  from  adopting  tho  same 
course.  Tho  uneasiness  at  first  entertained  in  regard  to 
tho  English  had  vanished  ;  all  tho  tribes  boi'doriug  on  tho 
Micissipi  lived  on  very  good  terms  with  us,  and  the  only 
means  of  arming  ourselves  against  tho  intngues  of  tho

""-f^  out  any  obstacle ;  he  then  erected  a  stone  fort  there.  The 

St.  Joseph's  Spaniards  had  abandoned  this  post  eighteen  years  before ; 
but  the  Governor  of  Pcnsacola  was  no  sooner  informed  of 
this  enterprise,  than  he  wrote  to  Bienville  that  St.  Jo- 
seph's Bay  belonged  to  the  Catholic  King."    It  was  not 

Rbandoued.  -worth  a  contest  with  that  crown,  and  Mi  do  Chateaugu^, 
who  had  taken  possession  of  it,  did  not  doubt  for  a  mo- 
ment that  it  would  soon  have  to  be  abandoned,  as  in  fact 
it  was  the  next  year.  The  reasons  which  brought  Mr.  de 
Bienville  and  the  Company  to  this  were  :  1st,  That  the 
lK)st  is  useless,  not  only  on  account  of  its  great  distance 
and  want  of  secuiity  for  ships  there,  but  chiefly  on  ac- 
count of  the  impossibility  of  defending  the  entrance, 
which  is  more  than  a  good  league  in  width,  iiud,  xhat 
it  is  extremely  inconvenient,  both  in  regard  to  the  diffi- 
culty of  landing  reinforcements,  for  you  ha\  o  to  wait  for 
the  proper  moment,  which  frequently  will  not  occur  for  a 
week,  or  even  a  fortnight ;  and  on  account  of  the  sterility 
of  the  soil,  which  for  more  than  four  leagues  around  is 
nothing  but  bare  sand,  and  on  account  of  the  insalubrity 
of  the  air,  which  in  all  that  coiintry  is  very  unhealthy,  all 
our  soldiers  having  been  very  sick  there.  This  occa- 
sioned many  desertions,  which  there  was  no  way  to  pre- 
vent. 3rd,  That  the  vessels  are  not  sheltered  there  from 
any  wind,  and  the  water  to  be  found  there  is  very  bad. 

DMcription      What  occurred  the  following  year  in  tliis  colouy  will

of  February,  1719,  do  Soriguy  arrived  in  Louysiaua  with 
three  ships,'  announced  that  war  was  declared  with 
Spain,  and  showed  the  orders  ho  had  received  to  take 
Pousacola.  The  bay  which  bears  that  name  was,  accord- 
ing to  the  Spaniards,  first  discovered  by  Pamphilo  de 
Narvaez,"  who  landed  there  in  his  unhappy  Florida  expe- 
dition.' Subsequently,  Diego  do  Maldouado,  one  of  Her- 
nando de  Soto's  captains,  rediscovered  it  and  gave  it  the 
name  of  Port  of  Anchusi.*  In  1558,  Don  Tristan  do 
Luua  named  it  Saint  Mary's  Bay,^  and  in  1C93,  Don  An- 
dres de  Pes,  General  of  the  Barlovento  fleet,  having  gone 
to  explore  it,  added  to  the  last  name  that  of  Galve,  in 
honor  of  the  Count  of  Galve,  then  Viceroy  of  Mexico." 
Accordingly  among  Spaniards,  the  bay  is  known  only  un- 
der the  name  of  Santa  Maria  de  Galve.  And  the  name  of 
Pensacola,  that  of  the  native  inhabitants  of  the  spot,  who 
have  been  destroyed  by  other  Indians,  is  retained  by  the 
province,  to  which  the  Spaniards  assign  a  very  great 
extent.'

'7I9-  this  state  in  1719,  when  Mr.  de  Serigny  laid  siego  to  it ; 
the  Western  Company  having  seized  the  opportunity  of 
the  rupture  between  the  two  crowns  to  obtain  the  only 
port  there  is  in  all  the  northern  coast  of  Floridu.,  from  the 
Bahama  Channel  to  the  Micissipi.  De  Serigny  began 
by  convening  a  great  council  of  war,  the  decision  of 
which  was,  that  Messrs.  de  Bienville  and  de  Chateau- 
guo,  his  brothers,  should  summon  to  Maubilo  all  the  In- 
dian aUies,  all  the  French  settlers,  voyageurs  and  con- 
cessionaries, and  load  them  overland  to  Pensacola,  while 
the  three  vessels,"  after  taking  on  board  a  hundi'od  and 
fifty  soldiers,  should  enter  the  bay.  All  this  was  carried 
out  with  great  secrecy  and  diligence. 

On  the  14th  of  May,  at  ten  o'clock  in  the  morning, 
Mr.  de  Seriguy  entered  the  bay:  Don  Juan  Pedro  de 
Matamoros,'  Governor  of  Fort  San  Carlos,  who  was  not 
in  a  condition  to  resist,  had  just  sent  to  Don  Gregovio  de 
Salinas,  Governor  of  St.  Joseph,  to  ask  him  for  assist- 
ance ;  but  ho  had  no  time  to  receive  it.  Serigny  began 
by  opening  a  brisk  fire,  and,  although  it  lasted  five  hours, 
the  Spaniards  protend  to  have  liad  only  one  man  killed.' 
The  fire  having  ceased,  the  Governor  sent  an  infantry  cap- 
tai'i  to  know  from  the  French  commandant,  the  cause  of 
so  unforeseen  a  hostility.  De  Serigny  sent  this  officer 
back  with  a  French  captain,  who  informed  Don  Juan 
that  war  had  been  declared  and  published  in  Franco  cu 
the  14th  of  January,  and  summoned  him  to  siu'rendcr  the 
place.  The  Governor,  by  the  advice  of  his  council,  asked 
till  next  day  to  answer,  and  he  obtained  the  delay  ;  but

whom  ho  had,  with  no  hope  of  rocoiving  in  season  the  re- 
inforcements he  had  solicited,  it  was  impossible  to  resist 
six  hundred  men  who  attacked  him  by  sea,  and  seven 
hundred  who  were  coming  by  land,  he  deemed  it  prudent 
to  try  and  obtain  favorabl  terms,  rather  than  risk  the 
consequence  of  a  useless  resistance.  Henco,  the  same 
day,  before  the  expiration  of  the  term  granted  him,  he  ca- 
pitulated on  the  following  conditions  : 

1st,  That  two  vessels  should  bo  furnished  him,  provi- 
sioned to  go  to  Havana.  2nd,  That  the  Spaniards 
should  take  with  them  neither  arms  nor  munitions  of  war. 
3rd,  That  all  hostilities  should  cease  for  a  week  after  the 
departure  of  the  garrison,  and  in  case  of  their  putting 
back,  for  a  week  more.' 

As  soon  as  this  capitulation  was  signed  by  the  two 
commandants,  the  garrison  on  the  15th  marched  forth  and 
encamped  outside.  Mr.  de  Chateaugud  entered  with 
three  hundred  men,  and  began  by  making  an  inventory  of 
all  ho  found  there.  On  the  18th  of  June,  the  Governor 
of  Pensacola  sailed  for  Havana  with  four  hundred  Span- 
iards on  the  Comto  de  Toulouse  and  the  Marechal 
Villars,  commanded  by  Mr.  Muchin  and  the  Cliovalior 
do  Grieu."  These  two  ships  were  attacked  ofif  the  coast 
of  Cuba  by  English  privateers,  who,  not  perceiving 
the  superiority  of  their  antagonists  until  they  were  so 
engaged  that  they  could  not  easily  escape,  sent  to 
apologize  to  the  commandants  for  mistaking  them  for 
Siiauiards."  This  might  be  ;  but  it  is  well  known  that 
such  mistakes  are  so  common  with  the  English,  that  we 
would  be  justified  in  not  always  overlooking  them. 

Meanwhile,  Don  Gregorio  Guago,  the  commander  at 
Havana,  had  just  sent  out  a  fleet  under  Don  Alplionso 
Carrascosa  de  la  Torre,  to  expel  the  English  from  Fort

^-"^r-^  tliaii  ti^o  conquest  of  all  that  province.    Some  time  after 
The  Froncij  lie  cliscernod  the  two  French  frigates,   and  at  once  clis- 
coiiduaihc  P'^'^ched  a  barque   to   Don   Alphouso,  to  order  him  to

^"cru'!'^    seeing  a  whole  fleet  bearing  down  upon  them,  wore  ;  but 
the  wind  suddenly  falling,  they  took  heart  from  the  fact 
that  as  they  carried  the  Governor  and  garrison  of  Pensa- 
cola,  the  capitulation  of  that  place  should  serve  as  a  safe 
conduct.    The  memoir  which  I  found  on  this  affair  in 
the  Depot  de  la  Marine,  says  that  the  Spanish  comman- 
dant demanded  that  the  French  should  restore  to  him  all 
those  of  his  nation  who  were  on  their  ships ;  that  they  re- 
fused, and  that  on  this  refusal,  the  fleet  turned  towards 
Havana    and  obliged  them  to  enter  the  port  with  it, 
tJiough  they  did  not  wish  to  go  in.    The  Spanish  histo- 
rian avers,  on  the  contrary,  that  Carrascosa  put  a  guard 
on  board  the  two  French  fiigates,  and  entered  Havana  with 
his  fleet  and  the  two  prizes  to  receive  his  general's  orders.'

Viceroy  of  Mexico,  a  light  barque,  to  beg  him  to  order  Don 
Francisco  Cornejo,  commandant  of  the  Barlovento  Fleet, 
who  was  then  at  Vera  Cruz,  to  proceed  to  join  Carrasco- 
sa  at  Pensacola  as  soon  as  he  heard  of  that  command- 
ant's arrival  in  Florida.  The  Viceroy  had  anticipated 
him :  informed  of  the  capture  of  Pensacola  by  the  Gov- 
ernor of  Saint  Joseph,  and  warned  by  a  Franciscan 
Father,  who  was  in  that  place  when  it  surrendered  to  de 
Serigny,  that  the  French  had  undertaken  its  capture  only 
with  the  \iew  of  penetrating  to  New  Mexico,  he  had  at 
once  dispatched  couriers  to  all  the  ports  of  New  Spain, 
with  orders  to  all  vessels  and  mariners  whom  they  met,  to 
proceed  to  Vera  Cruz.  He  had  at  the  same  time  made  a 
levy  of  men  on  all  sides,  and  had  no  embarrassment  ex- 
cept to  find  shipping  enough  to  embark  all  this  force, 
when  Don  Francisco  Cornejo  entered  the  port  of  Vera 
Cruz  with  five  men-of-war  of  the  Barlovento  Fleet,  The 
Viceroy  ordered  him  to  prepare  to  sail  to  Pensacola,  but 
as  Cornejo  was  on  the  point  of  starting,  the  Viceroy  sent 
him  a  countermand,  to  defer  his  departure  till  he  had 
given  him  a  reinforcement. 

Meanwhile,  the  change  in  the  destination  of  the  Hava- 
na fleet  had  not  been  to  the  taste  of  all  who  had  em- 
barked in  it,  and  more  than  four  hundred  deserted  before 
it  sailed  out  of  port.  This  mishap  did  not  disconcert  the 
Governor;  he  trusted  that  the  valor  of  those  who  re- 
mained faithful  to  him  would  make  up  for  numbers,  and 
contented  himself  with  embarking  sixty  grenadiers  of  hia 
garrison  in  place  of  the  deserters.  On  the  29th  of  Juno, 
Don  Alphonso  Carrascosa  set  sail,  having  in  all  only 
eight  hundred  and  fifty  men,  including  regulars,  volun- 
teers and  marines  on  twelve  vessels,  three  frigates,  and 
nine  bilanders.  As  soon  as  he  was  in  sight  of  Saint  Jo- 
seph, he  sent  Lieutenant-Colonel  Don  Bruno  de  Cavalle- 
ro  to  the  Governor  of  the  fort,  Don  Gregorio  de  Salinas, 
to  learn  from  him  the  actual  situation  of  the  French  at 
Pensacola.    The  Governor  repUed  that  two  deserters  from

mado  no  repairs  there,  nor  even  collected  material  for  the 
purpose;  that  Santa  Bosa  Island  and  Point  Sigucn^a 
were  abandoned,  and  that  the  French  commandant,  h© 
had  no  doubt,  would  be  obliged  to  surrender  at  the  first 
summons. 

On  this  report,  Carrascosa  ran  up  to  within  half  a 
league  of  Pensacola  Bay,'  and  anchoring  during  tho 
night,  sent  off  a  dotaohmont  of  a  hundred  men,  who,  with- 
out meeting  any  resistance,  took  possession  of  Point  Si- 
guenga,  which  is  the  western  extremity  of  Santa  Rosa 
Island.  Fifty  soldiers  of  the  garrison  of  Pensacola  im- 
mediately came  in  and  surrendered,"  assuring  thorn  that 
they  had  only  to  show  themselves,  to  become  masters  of 
the  fort;  that  all  the  French  who  were  shut  up  thoro 
were  good  servants  of  the  King  of  Spain,  and  would 
open  the  gates  as  soon  as  they  appeared.  This  gan'ison 
had  been  very  badly  selected ;  it  was  composed  entirely 
of  deserters,  salt  smugglers,  forced  emigrants  to  Louisia- 
na and  other  like  rubbish,  w.aom  it  was  imprudent  to  col- 
lect in  too  large  a  body.  The  Spanish  commander  him- 
self also  entered  tho  bay  in  a  sloop,  to  inspect  tho  real  state 
of  affairs.  He  saw  two  frigates,  and  had  perfect  leisure 
to  examine  them ;  reconnoitred  the  fort  at  his  ease,  as  tho 
cannon  fired  at  him  did  not  reach.  Eeturniug  to  Point 
Siguon9a,  he  ordered  all  the  bilandors  to  enter  the  port, 
and  as  soon  as  they  came  to  anchor,  they  oiDoned  a  can- 
nonade ou  the  frigates  and  fort.  The  two  frigates  replied 
briskly,  but  this  did  not  prevent  one  of  them  being 
boarded  and  taken.  The  crew  of  tlie  other  set  fire  to  it 
and  retired  within  the  fort,  which  was  at  once  invested  by 
all  the  bilandcrs.

The  firing  was  vigorous!  on  both  sides  all  clay,  but  not  '7i9- 
very  effective.  In  tlig  evening,  Don  Liuuo  CavaUcio  sent  ^— "^"^ 
to  summon  Mr.  do  Cluitoaugue  to  surrender  as  a  prisoner  ciii)turo  ot 
of  war,  with  all  his  garrison,  declaring  that  if  ho  waited 
till  his  batteries  were  planted,  ho  would  give  quarter  to 
none.  Ho  asked  till  ten  tho  next  morniuf,'  to  decide,  and 
this  was  granted;  but  tho  Spanish  commandant  occu- 
pied with  strong  detachments  all  tho  passes  by  which  the 
Indians  could  come  to  tho  reUei  of  the  French.  Clia- 
teaugue  was  bent  on  resisting  to  tho  last  extremity,  but 
his  soldiers  all  unanimously  declaring  that  they  would  not 
fight  against  tho  Simniards,  ho  was  forced  to  surrender, 
and  at  the  hour  designated,  he  obtained  these  terms : 
That  he  should  march  out  of  his  fort  with  all  tho  honors 
of  war,  and  be  conveyed  to  Spain.  Then  almost  all  tho 
French  enlisted  in  the  Spanish  troops,  <.  xcept  some  who 
■were  thrown  into  tho  holds  of  vessels,  tied  hand  and 
foot.  The  Governor,  his  lieutenant,  the  Director  of  tho 
Company  and  all  the  officer.,,  were  paroled,  while  the  ves- 
sel was  fitting  out  to  convey  them  to  Havana.'  That 
same  day  Carrascosa  took  possession  of  the  fort,  which 
he  found  well  supplied  with  luuuitious  and  merchandise  : 
he  restored  Don  Juan  Pedro  Matamoros  as  Governor, 
and  left  there  a  sufficient  garrison.' 

On  tho  25th  of  August  ho  dispatched  Captain  Don 
Francisco  Mendez  to  the  Viceroy  of  New  Spain,  to  boar 
tidings  of  the  success  of  his  enterprise,  and  that  officer 
found  Don  Francisco  Cornejo  still  at  Vera  Cruz  with  his 
squadron.  The  Marquis  de  Valero,  charmed  to  learn 
that  Pensacola  had  returned  to  the  rulo  of  his  royal  mas- 
ter, at  once  ordered  Cornejo  to  set  sail  and  to  add  to  his 
squadron  the  ships  just  arrived  from  Havana  under  the 
command  of  Don  Francisco  Guerrero,  in  order  to  expel

Antonio  fulfilled  bis  task  very  well.  Ho  found  tbe  Pbi- 
lippo,  commanded  by  Mr.  de  Sorigny  in  tbe  roadstead, 
supported  by  four  good  batteries.* 

Ho  visited  tbo  wbolo  coast,  altbougb  under  fire  from  all

tbeii'  allies  at  two  tbousand.  Ho  then  outorod  Maubilo

not  show  themselves  till  the  enemy  was  within  gun-shot, 
when  with  a  yell  they  began  the  figlit.  The  enemy,  taken 
between  two  fires,  made  but  a  feeble  resistance.  Fifteen

Sioiir  do  Viliuvillo,  who  joiuod  thorn  most  seasonably,  r 
great  uiauy  Indians  hud  lluckod  to  him  from  arovind  Mau- 
bilo ;  Mr.  do  Siiiut  Douya  brought  iu  all  tho  Biloxi  lu- 
diaiis,  and  tho  Coucossious  sout  him  ovory  man  ablo 
to  bear  arms.  Thus  Ilorroa  soon  percoivod  that  it  would 
not  bo  oasy  to  succeed  in  his  enterprise.  As  soon  as  lie 
joined  Mondiota,  ho  learned  from  that  oilicor  that  tho 
isliiud  was  ihdly  hlling  up  with  French  and  Indians,  all 
well  armed,  and  a  lauding  was  nowhere  practicable. 

ITo  nevertheless  attempted  a  descent  on  tho  littlo  Islo 
(iuill'jiy,  which  is  almost  connected  with  Daupliin  Island; 
but  this  detachment  found  Canailiaus  and  Iti.lians  there, 
who  repulsed  them,  killing  more  than  thirty  men.'  Two 
days  after,  tho  commandant  having  embarked  on  tho 
Mart'clial  do  Villans,  and  hoisted  tho  groat  royal  stand- 
ard of  Spain,  appeared  with  another  ship,  a  groat  llibus- 
tier  boat,  carrying  ton  guns,  and  with  seven  sloops.  Ho 
appioachotl  Dauphin  Island,  and  tho  next  day  tho  two 
ships  anchored  witlun  gun-shot  '  the  Philippe.  Tho 
sloops,  which  wore  all  filled  with  ,oldiers,  and  tho  great 
boat  at  the  same  timo,  entered  tho  port,  as  if  with  tho  de- 
sign of  cannonading  tho  town,  and  under  favor  of  their 
gunt),  effecting  a  lauding ;  but  they  found  all  tho  French 
and  Indians  in  such  an  attitude,  *hat  thoy  durst  not  attempt 
an}ihing.  They  renewed  tho  sanio  maneeuvre  for  four- 
teen da_)s  in  succession,  sometimes  at  ouo  place,  and 
aouietimes  at  another,  and  were  everywhere  forced  to  draw 
')ff  without  doing  anytJiing.  Yet  there  were  on  tho  whole 
island  only  two  hundred  Indians,  and  fewer  Canadians 
and  volunteers,  on  whom  Mr.  do  Sorigny  could  depend. 
The  soldiers,  to  the  number  of  eighty  men,  were  of  the 
same  stamp  as  those  who  had  deserted  at  Pensacola,  and 
he  had  to  distrust  them  as  much  as  he  did  the  enemy. 

What  most  incommoded  tho  Spaniards,  was  the  cannon 
of  the  Philippe,  which  was  anchored  within  pistol-shot  of 
tho  land,  and  a  barbette  battery,  which  de  Sorigny  had

Hailed  back  to  PcuBacola.  Tho  extent  of  thoir  loss  could 
not  bo  i)reciKely  ascertained,  but  thoro  was  every  reason 
to  deem  it  considerable.  Thoir  greatest  error  was  tlioir 
luck  of  persistence,  for  Lad  t!'<  y  continued  to  blf)ckado 
Dau[)]iin  Island  for  never  so  short  a  time,  tlioy  would 
infallibly  have  taken  it.  The  besieged  had  been  sleeping 
on  tho  sand  for  throe  weeks,  and  could  scarcely  stand  any 
longer ;  most  of  them  were  actually  sick.' 

During  this  time  tho  general  had  not  been  idle  or  free  JJ',X 
from  trouble.  lie  had  wisely  deemed  it  necessary  to  A'cusacolo. 
build  a  fort  at  the  point  of  Santa  Ivosa  Island,  to  defend 
tho  ontrauco  to  the  harbor ;  and  on  this  ho  employed  all 
the  nogi'oes  ho  had  succeeded  in  taking  from  tho  French. 
What  most  retarded  tliese  works  was  tlio  frequent  alarms 
given  to  Fort  St.  Charles  by  the  Indians ;  and  when  tho 
Governor  wished  to  make  sorties  upon  them,  these  In- 
dians leaped,  says  tho  Spanish  historian,  like  goats  on 
tho  mountaui  top,  where  it  was  impossible  co  follow  them. 
This,  with  tho  first  information  which  Carrascosa  received 
from  Don  Estevan  Berroa,  as  to  tho  impossibility  of  tak- 
ii:g  the  Philippe  and  landing  on  Dauphin  Island,  finally 
convinced  him  that  ho  required  a  larger  force  to  put  an 
end  to  this  war.  A  brigautiue  detaclK;d  from  Vera  Cruz 
had  assured  him  that  tho  great  reinforcement  promised 
him  would  soon  arrive ;  ho  expected  provisions  from  Ha- 
vana ;  the  fort  at  Point  Siguemja  was  almost  finished,  as 
well  as  a  fifteen  gun  battery  that  was  to  command  tho  on- 
trauco of  tho  harbor;  they  were  diligently  laboring  to 
make  Fort  St.  Charles  proof  against  any  insult;  but 
hunger  began  already  to  be  sensibly  felt,  and  sickness  be- 
gan to  spread. 

The  hope  of  receiving  the  supplies,  announced  as  very 
near  at  hand,  for  a  time  sustained  the  troops,  but  as  the

visionH  would  force  tlu'm  to  Hurrondcr.  Men  oven  be^au 
to  think,  ere  loiif,',  that  the  expected  succorH  woro  lost,  it 
not  bein^'  probable  that  tho  Viceroy  of  Mexico  and  the 
Governor  of  Havana  would  havo  no^dcctoil  to  send  thorn 
at  the  time  thoy  had  set,  and  Homo  waid  openly  that  their 
d(-i)arture  should  no  lonf,'or  bo  delayed,  as  they  had  only 
just  provinions  enough  to  carry  them  to  Havana. 

Tho  general  waa  so  fortunate  as  to  siicccod  in  (luelliug 
this  incipient  nuitiny,  but  ho  was  soon  after  uotifiod  that 
five  sail  had  been  soon  near  Dauphin  Island ;  that  tho 
captain  of  a  bilauder  had  sent  his  longboat  to  reconnoi- 
tre* them,  and  that  this  boat,  having  gone  too  near,  had 
boon  detained.'  Thoro  was  then  no  doubt  that  thoy  woro 
French  ships,  and  this  opinion  was  coutirmed  by  the  fact 
that  for  three  dayb  past  not  a  band  of  Indians  had  been 
Boen  near  Pousacola.  This  led  to  tho  conclusion  that 
those  savages  had  joined  tho  French  troops  to  invest  tho 
fort  by  land,  while  tho  shii)S  attacked  by  sea.  Tho  Gov- 
ernor of  San  Carlos,  tho  first  to  receive  this  tidings, 
thought  it  tho  best  expedient  to  burn  tho  fort  to  prevent 
the  French  from  establishing  thomselvos  there,  and  to 
carry  to  tho  fort  on  Siguenr;a  Pcnut  all  his  artillery  and 
munitions.  But  as  ho  was  almost  alono  in  this  opinion, 
ho  bado  tho  gouoral  do  what  ho  deemed  best  for  tho 
King's  service.' 
Arrivfti  of  The  next  morning  tho  captain  of  another  Inlander  assured 
ciiampiiiciiu  the  genciiil  that  tho  ships  which  he  had  seen  woro  mor- 
biiuiidioi:.  chautmeu  of  from  twenty  to  twenty-six  guns  at  tho  most, 
but  it  was  soon  af';er  reported  to  him,  that  six  men-of-war

Ou  tho  sovcntli,  Dardounos,  a  Canadian,  who  had  boon 
suit  to  Pousacola  to  endeavor  to  rticnnnoitro  tho  condi- 
tion of  tho  ph\co,  reported  that  he  had  counted  eight  ves- 
sels at  anchor  off  St.  Rosa  Island,  the  masts  lowered  and 
the  yards  sheered  up;  that  ho  had  perceived  a  number  of 
tents  ou  tho  island  and  many  men  walking  there ;  that 
tho  fort  at  Ponsacola  seemed  to  him  in  very  good  condi- 
tion ;  that  tho  bajition  on  the  northcas^,  and  curtain  ou 
the  north  had  boon  entirely  restored,  a^  d  that  tho  garri- 
son durst  not  sally  forth  by  day  or  night,  such  was  their 
fear  of  the  Indians.  Ou  tho  tenth,  some  Apalaches,  also 
reti'.ruing  from  a  scout,  brought  in  a  Spaniard,  but  he 
was  a  galloj'  slave,  from  whom  no  information  could  bo 
obtained.  Finally,  on  the  twelfth,  de  Bienville  came 
aboard  the  flagship  with  a  troop  of  Canadians,  to  receive 
Mr.  do  Champmelin's  last  orders,  and  on  tho  night  be- 
tween the  thirteenth  and  fourteenth,'  the  general  sig- 
nalled to  weigh  anchor  with  three  King's  ships,  two  of 
the  Company's  frigates,  tho  Union  and  Philippe,  and  a 
Bmall  bark  to  aid  in  lauding,  in  case  of  need. 

Tho  Western  Company  had  recently  sent  to  Louysiana 
two  hundred  iind  fifty  men  of  the  late  levies ;  these  were 
distributed  among  tho  King's  vessels.  Bienville's  orders 
were  to  proceed  by  sloop  to  llio  Perdido  v/ith  the  sol- 
diers and  volunteers  to  join  tho  Indians  wlioai  tho  Chevalier 
do  Longuevillo'  was  to  bring  tliitlier,  and  whom  he  in  fact 
found  there.  Bienville  then  detached  a  body  of  French 
and  Indians  to  harass  tho  garrison  of  Peusacola,  and 
prevent  any  0110  from  leaving  tho  fort.  This  was  punctu- 
ally carried  out.

canuou-shot  from  tho  Ikit,  as  Mr.  do  Champmoliu  wishod 
to  oxamiuo  in  person  whether  there  was  sulHcieut  water 
on  tho  bar  for  tho  Kinjr's  ships,  tho  two  hirj^est  of  which, 
namely,  tho  Hercnlos,  his  tlaj^sliip,  and  the  Mars,  drew 
uiuotocn  foot.  Tho  Canadians  ileohired  that  tlioy  would 
pass  with  oaso ;  but  several  Spanish  and  French  julots 
maintained  that  ho  would  not  tliid  more  than  eiyh- 
toeu  feet  of  water.  On  the  morning  of  the  seventeenth 
tho  general  or''ered  all  the  s^loops  ami  boats  of  the  scpiadrou 
to  go  and  sound  the  bay;  Mr.de  Vieuue,  the  Clievalier 
do  Goyou  and  Mr.  do  Serigny  embarked,  and  nowhoro 
found  less  than  twenty-two  feet,  but  tlio  title  v,':is  high  and 
Mr.  do  Champmelin  still  hesitated  to  risk  the  Iviug's 
ships.  Mr.  do  Seriguy  pledg(;d  his  head  that  he  would 
take  them  in,  and  tho  whole  council  of  war  favored  tho 
projected  passage.' 

In  fact,  though  tho  tide  was  (juito  low  when  the  S(]uad- 
ron  got  under  weigh,  it  founil  twonty-ouo  feet  of  water 
everywhere  except  in  ono  spot,  where  tho  Hercules,  by 
not  exactly  following  tho  channel,  touched  slightly,  but 
without  sustaining  any  iujui'y.  The  ships  Coiuto  do  Tou- 
louse, Marechal  de  Villars,  St.  Louis,  and  a  small  trigato 
of  eighteen  guus,  wore  anchored  with  a  spring  upon  tho

guus  ol'  the  fort  at  tho  point  of  Santa  llosa  island  or  Si-

on  the  cable  would  have  required  a  starboard  ta.  t:,  that 
is,  turning  to  the  right,  the  fire  became  very  warm  on 
both  sides  and  lasted  two  hours.  The  Spanish  historian 
counts  six  hours'  combat,  including,  apparently,  all  the 
time  that  his  nation's  ships  were  tiring  on  ours ;  he  adds 
that  the  Indians  and  Canadiaus  kci)t  tiring  all  night  on 
Tuit  San  Carlos ;  that  the  tire  at  the  entrance  of  the  port 
was  kept  up  till  the  fort  at  the  point  was  entirely  demol- 
ished, and  only  two  frigates  in  fighting  condition,  and 
that  which  bore  the  Spanish  geueral  sinking ;  that  then 
Mr.  do  Champmcliu,  touched  to  see  so  many  brave  men 
perish,  sent  to  tell  Don  Alphonso  Carrascosa  to  surren- 
der, which  he  did.  Don  Druno  also  suirendored  with  the 
remnant  of  the  garrison  of  the  fort  on  the  point.' 
Fort  This  done,  the   French  general  sent  to  summon  the 

t;ikcn,  with  rrovcmor  of  Pousacola  to  surrender  as  a  prisoner  of  war 
'  pnsoi'iLTs"  with  all  his  garrison,  in  default  w  hereof,  there  should  be 
^  "'"■  no  quarter  for  any  one.  Ilatamoros  said  that  he  would 
answer  in  two  days.  Mr.  de  Bienville,  who  had  five  hun- 
dred Indians  and  a  hundred  and  fifty  Cauadiajis,  had 
alrtjtuly  refused  to  make  terms  with  him,  and  he  felt  that 
if  Mr.  de  Champmelin  allowed  Bienville  to  storm  the 
place,  as  he  threatened  through  Mr.  do  Lille,  his  first 
lieutenant,  ho  could  never  hold  out,  yet  ho  allowed  de 
Lille  to  depart  without  a  reply  ;  but  his  ofiicers,  to  whom 
he  imparted  the  summons,  forced  him  to  recall  that  ofiicer. 
He  told  him  that  he  surrendered,  and  lowered  his  tiag. 
Mr.  de  Champmelin  showed  great  courtesy  to  all  the  offi- 
cers, and  told  them  that  he  had  never  yet  seen  so  gallant 
a  defence  ;  it  was  indeed  conducted  with  great  ardor  and 
valor."

The  next  day  Mr.  de  Champmeliu  sent  his  long  boat  with 
one  of  his  officers  and  an  officer  of  the  Spanish  general, 
to  order  the  commanders  of  the  bilanders,  wliich  had  run 
ashore  at  the  head  of  the  bay,  to  bring  them  back  to  the 
port ;  but  only  French  prisoners  were  found  on  board, 
the  Spaniards  having  escaped  to  St.  Joseph,'  as  a  brigan- 
tinc  1  periagua  did  at  the  commencement  of  the  action. 
The  same  day  the  Spanish  garrison  marched  out  of  Fort 
San  Carlos,  and  the  officers,  disarmed,  were  sent  on  the 
ships ;  but  they  were  allowed  to  retain  their  clothing  and 
all  private  property.  Mr.  do  Champmeliu  chose  to  have 
in  his  vessel,  the  general,  the  Governor  of  Pensacola, 
Don  Bruno  Cavallero,  Don  Estevan  Bcrroa,  and  Don 
Antonio  Joseph  Martinez."  But  as  the  number  of  other 
prisoners,  whom  Bienville  estimates  at  tit'teen  hundred, 
and  Mr.  de  Sorigny  at  twelve  hundred,  greatly  embar- 
rassed the  squadron  and  would  have  famished  it ;  six 
hundred  were  sent  to  Havana  on  the  St.  Louis.  No  one 
doubted  that  the  enemy  must  have  had  ^nany  killed  and 
wounded,  yet  only  sixty  in  all  were  found,  and  on  our  side 
there  were  only  six  or  seven.' 

Early  in  the  morning  of  the  24tli,  a  brigautine  was  per- 
ceived, which,  without  mistrusting,  entered  the  port ;  it 
was  commanded  by  Andrew  Gonzales,  bringing  from  H;i- 
vaua  the  provisions  so  long  expected  at  Pensacola.  Mr. 
Chami)mehu  seized  it  and  found  wherewith  to  relieve  all ''"''  "i"'- 
his  men,  who  needed  it  extremely.  Gonzales  was  also 
bearer  of  several  letters,  of  which  the  general  delivered 
only  such  as  he  deemed  proper.  By  the  same  channel, 
Mr.  do  Bienville  received  one  from  Mr.  de  Chateauguo, 
wlio  informed  him  that  the  Governor  of  Havana  refused 
to  furnish  provisions  to  him,  as  well  as  to  the  officers  and

were  forced  to  carry  stoue  or  nlist  iu  Spanish  ships,  to 
have  wherewith  to  sustain  life.'  Mr.  do  Champmeliu  bit- 
terly reproached  tho  Spanish  General  and  officers  with 
this ;  but  he  did  not  think  it  right  to  take  any  other  ven- 
geance than  by  treating  kindly  all  thi)  prisoners  of  their 
nation  in  his  hands.  He  nevertheless  thoiight  it  his  duty 
to  write  to  the  Governor  of  Havana ;  ho  then  sentenced 
the  French  taken  arms  iu  hand  against  the  King;  tho 
most  guilty  Avere  hanged,  tho  rest  condemned  to  tho  galleys.' 
The  only  question  left  was  whether  tho  fort  at  Pensa- 
cola  should  be  preserved.  There  was  no  lack  of  soldiers 
to  garrison  it,  but  most  of  them  were  wretches  who  had 
deserted  from  the  army  in  Franco,  or  taken  by  force ;  and 
past  experience  showed  how  little  dependence  could  be 
placed  on  their  tidelity.  It  was  iherefore  resolved  to  de- 
molish two  bastions  on  tho  land  side,  preserving  only  tho 
two  facing  the  port,  and  to  leave  there  an  officer,  two  ser- 
geants, twenty  soldiei"S  and  twelve  Indians.'  On  tho 
third  of  October,  the  frigate  Duke  do  NoaiUes  arrived  at 
Pensacola  and  delivered  to  the  Count  do  Champmeliu 
letters,  by  which  he  was  ordered  to  winter  with  his  squad- 
ron in  Louysiaua,  inasmuch  as  information  had  reached 
the  Court  of  France  that  a  strong  squadron  had  left 
Spaiu  for  the  Gulf  of  Mexico ;  but  the  condition  in  which 
his  ships  and  crews  were,  reudei'ed  this  order  imi)racticable. 
On  the  eleventh  a  Spaniard,  solo  survivor  of  the  ere  v 
of  a  storcship  of  twenty-four  guns,  intended  to  revictuaJ 
St.  Joseph's  Bay,  stated  that  ho  had  sailed  from  Vera 
Cruz  sixteen  days  previously  ;  that  he  had  left  there  live 
men-of-war,  carrying  each  from  fifty  to  seventy  guns  ;  two 
frigates  and  three  bilanders,  witli  a  great  number  of  laud

13tli,  at  throo  o'clock  in  tlio  afternoon,  a  slii'p  hove  iu 
sight,  and  at  the  same  timo  they  brought  to  tlie  general 
another  Si)aniar(l,  who  had  been  found  on  8anta  Rosa 
Island-.  This  man  told  him  that  ho  had  oomo  from  Vera 
Cruz  iu  the  ship  then  in  sight ;  that  ho  and  two  others 
had  been  sent  ashore  in  the  boat,  which  had  been  lost; 
that  his  comrades  wore  drowned,  and  that  ho  had  es- 
caped by  swimming.  Soon  after,  the  ship  firod  three 
guns,  as  if  to  recall  the  boat,  and  the  longboat  was  seen 
putting  oil".  It  lauded  at  Point  Sigucn^a,  with  casks  to 
take  in  water.  It  was  captured,  and  those  in  it  said  that 
they  had  sailed  from  Vc::;,  Cruz  thirty-five  days  before, 
and  that  their  ship  was  loaded  with  stores,  and  a  rein- 
forcement of  a  hundred  men  for  Pensacola ;  that  the 
northeast  wind  had  detained  them  at  Dauphin  Island, 
and  that  they  had  endeavored  to  take  in  water  theie,  but 
had  been  prevented. 

The  next  morning  the  ship,  Avhich  had  anchored  outside 
the  bay,  fired  a  gun  to  recall  its  lougl  )oat,  but  as  it  did  not 
return,  she  lay  to  where  she  was  till  eleven  o'clock.  But 
then  a  violent  southeast  wind  forced  her  to  outer  and  an- 
chor. The  Count  de  Champmeliu  hoisted  his  fiag.  This 
ship  was  commanded  by  Dou  Francisco  de  la  Peua,  one 
of  the  captains  of  the  Barlovonto  Fleet.  As  soon  as  he 
saw  the  French  Hag  he  lowered  his,  and  the  general  sent 
to  demand  the  letters  which  ho  had  from  the  Viceroy.' 
Ho  gave  them  and  they  coufirmed  all  that  was  already 
known  of  the  designs  of  the  Sjoauiards.  This  informa- 
tion did  not  alter  at  all  the  resolution  to  depart  which  ^Iv. 
de  Champmelin  had  formed,  as  sickness  was  increasing 
iu  his  ships.  The  Mars,  however,  had  or^'  -rs  to  remain 
till  its  crew  recovered  from  the  pestilence,  wnich  had  not 
left  the  sliip  from  the  timo  of  its  arrival  iu  America. 
The  Marechal  de  Villars  and  the  Comte  de  Toulouse 
wore  not  iu  a  seaworthy  couditiou,  and  were  also  obliged 
to  remain.

HISTORY  OF  NEW  FRANCE. 

Those  arrangoments  made,  Mi',  do  Champmolin's  next 
tlioiight  was  to  reward  the  Indians  for  the  zeal  tbey  had 
diKplayod  for  tlie  French  nation  since  the  commencement 
of  this  war.  Mr.  do  Saint  Denys,  who  was  greatly  be- 
loved by  these  tribes,  received  oi'dors  to  assemble  them, 
and  ho  made  them  chant  the  calumet  in  honor  of  the  gen- 
eral, who  attended  with  all  his  officers.  He  then  ad- 
dressed them  in  the  general's  name,  exhorting  them  to  re- 
main ever  attached  to  the  French,  whoso  superiority  over 
their  enemy  they  had  just  witnessed.  "When  he  had  end- 
ed his  address,  presents  were  distributed  to  all  in  the  King's 
name,  and  they  were  sent  off  highly  pleased. 

On  the  21st,'  as  the  squadron  was  about  to  sot  sail,  a 
bilander  was  seen  endeavoring  to  enter  tho  bay,  wind 
astern.  It  was  seized,  and  tho  captain  declared  that  ho 
had  cleared  from  Vera  Cruz  eighteen  days  before  in  com- 
pany with  a  44  gun  ship,  and  three  others  of  thirty, 
eighteen  and  twelve  guns,  aud  another  bilander  ;  that 
three  ten  gun  ships  had  remained  in  port,  the  pestilence 
having  broken  out  among  the  crews  ;  that  General  Cor- 
nejo  in  person  was  in  the  largest  ship  ;  that  it  was  his  de- 
sign to  join  the  Governor  of  Peusacola,  to  aid  him  in 
conquering  all  that  was  still  left  to  the  French  in  Louysi- 
aua,  and  that  lio  supposed  Dauphin  Island  aud  Fort 
M.iubilo  alioady  iu  tho  power  of  his  Catholic  majesty  ; 
that  moreover,  a  gale  having  separated  his  bilander  from 
the  squadron  throe  days  after  its  departure  from  Vera 
Cruz,  he  did  not  know  what  had  become  of  it. 

This  news  decided  Mr.  do  Champmelin  to  remain  some 
days  longer  at  Pensacola,  awaiting  the  Spanish  squad- 
ron, but  as  it  did  not  appear,  he  hoisted  sail  and  started 
for  Franco  again."  It  is  probable  that  Cornejo,  having 
learned  by   the  way  the  capture  of  Pensacola,  and  the

presence  of  the  French  fleet  there  still,  diil  not  deem  it 
l)rucleut  to  engage  a  squadron  much  stronger  thiiu  his 
own.  Be  that  as  it  may,  de  Champmclin  had  scarcely 
sailed  when  the  Chevalier  de  Saujou  arrived  in  Louysia- 
na  with  a  new  squadron,'  and  his  presence  contributed  in 
no  slight  degree  to  prevent  anything  being  undertaken  by 
the  Spaniards.  Ho  then  wished  to  go  to  St.  Joseph's 
Bay  and  captui-e  that  post ;  but  this  was  not  the  opinion 
of  Mr.  de  Bienville,  who  had  taken  possession  of  it  tho 
year  before,  and  soon  after  abandoned  it  on  account  of  its 
uselessness  and  the  difficulties  of  defending  it,  or  ap- 
proaching it,  or  sheltering  vessels  there,  and  especially  on 
account  of  the  sterility  of  the  country,  which  is  adapted 
to  no  natural  products.  Mr.  de  Serigny,  too,  remarked 
that  the  famine  which  threatened  the  colony  would  pre- 
vent any  delay  in  the  departure  of  tho  Compan}  's  ships, 
which  it  was  intended  to  use  on  this  expedition,  and  on 
which  he  saw  himself  compelled  to  send  back  many  of  tho 
people  to  France.  Mr.  de  Saujon  did  not  insist,  and  as 
there  was  no  longer  anything  to  detain  him  in  America, 
ho  sailed  for  France." 

De  Serigny  followed  soon  after:  he  set  sail  June  27, 
1720,'  and   on  reaching  Brest  he  learned  that  the  King 
had   appointed  him   captain  of   ships  of  tho  line ;   a  re- 
ward well  merited  by  his  valor,  his  good  conduct,  and  tho     ''of "'"' 
zeal  with  which  ho  had  served  his  prince  from  childhood ;  ,uut  '•.'iHvni 
having  never  been  promoted  to  any  rank  in  the  navy  till  "'vcs'suuf'^

bo  had  distiuguishod  himself  by  some  signal  action  or  in 
somo  important  service.  Tlirco  days  after  hifi  departure, 
two  of  tlio  King's  vessels,  the  Toulouse  and  the  Huniy, 
■vvhicli  liad  sailed  from  Toulon  under  the  command  of 
Messrs.  do  Valetto '  and  do  Cafaro,  arrived  in  wretched 
plight  at  tho  roadstead  off  Dauphin  Island.  Tiio  Jesuit 
Fiit^'^  Laval,  royal  professor  of  hydrography  at  tho  port 
of  Luuion,  was  on  board,  having  come  to  make  observa- 
ii'.K.'i  I-  Louysiana,  and  especially  to  fix  tho  longitude  of 
llsv.  .-L.oi.i-h  of  the  Micissipi ;'  but  tho  pestilouco  having 
broken  Oi  i  both  vessels,  Mr.  de  Cafaro  died  on  tho 
voyage ;'  tho  chaplains  were  not  able  to  attend  tho  sick, 
who  wore  very  numerous ;  accordingly,  that  religious,  fool- 
ing that  science  is  only  an  accessory  to  a  man  of  his  pro- 
fession, thought  tho  duty  of  his  ministry  paramount  to 
any  good  to  bo  expected  from  his  astronomical  obso^'va- 
tions :  he  did  not  go  to  the  Micissipi,  although  ho  was 
only  fourteen  leagues  distant  from  it :  he  did  not  leavo 
the  crows,  employing  in  his  observations  only  tho  mo- 
ments he  stole  from  sleep.  This  conduct  elicited  high 
praise  from  tho  prince  who  presided  in  the  Navy  Council.* 
Meanwhile,  tho  Fort  of  tho  Natchitoches  was  always 
maintained,  and  some  detachments  of  concessions  had  ad- 
vanced in  that  direction,  in  hopes  of  acquiring  wealth  by 
trade  with  the  Spaniards,  a  chimerical  hope,  which  pre- 
vented their  adopting  surer  methods  of  making  a  solid 
settlement  elsewhere,  and  which  finally  ruined  them.  To- 
wards the  close  of  this  year  de  Bienville  received  orders

King  Lad  Louoroil  with  tlio  brovot  of  Captiiiu,  aud  tho

ChaiupiucUu  had  rondorod  iu  his  favf^i  iu  tho  Couucil  of 
tho  Navy.  Ho  sot  out  at  tho  comncucoiuoiit  of  tho  fol- 
lowing year  with  a  reiuforeoiuout  of  tro()i)s  and  munitions, 
and  his  wifo  soon  joined  him  thoro.  Mr.  do  Cluitoauguo, 
who  had  proceeded  from  Havana  to  Franco,  also  re- 
turned at  tho  same  time,  with  the  rank  of  King's  Lieu- 
tenant, and  resumed  command  of  Fort  Saint  Louis  at 
Maubilo.  Finally,  do  Bienville  again  established  tho 
hofulciuarters  of  Louysiana  at  JJiloxi,  and  lixed  '  's  resi- 
dence there,  with  tho  greater  part  of  tho  trooj.  am  ''lo 
Directors  of  tho  Company,  of  which  he  was  th"  pre,?  g 
ollicor. 

No  further  fears  wore  entortaiuod  of  tho  ^\' .  ia.  '.s,  be- 
cause from  tho  preceding  year  while  Mr.  d(-  V;i  i,te  was 
still  at  Dauphin  Island,  positive  inform.i'  ^n  had  como 
that  two  Spanish  ships  of  sixty-six  and  six.  -.  .on  gun.s, 
commanded  by  two  commodores,  and  which  were  to  join 
the  Vera  Cruz  ileet  to  sui-priso  Pensacola,  had  I'ecoiveJ 
counter  orders  at  Havana,  and  that  this  change  was 
caused  by  a  suspension  of  hostilities  between  tho  two 
crowns.  The  court  of  Madrid  feeling,  no  doubt,  that  tho 
restitution  of  Pensacola  would  be  ouo  of  tho  articles  of 
the  treaty  of  peace  then  negotiating,  thought  it  needless 
to  incur  useless  expense,  and  the  result  was  as  she  had 
foreseen,' 

It  was  a  favorable  oi)poi*tunity  to  establish  tho  ccmce.s- 
sions,  who  did  not  cease  to  arrive  from  Franco,  and  who, 
well  managed,  would  in  a  few  years  have  peopled  boili 
banks  of  tho  Micissipi  up  to  the  Illinois;  but  the  solo 
aim  of  tho  Directors  of  the  Comiuiny  was  to  get  near  tlio

tlio  port;  threo  ships  anchored  thoro  wero  very  much 
damugtid,  aud  fouud  themselves  high  ashore  on  the  bank  of 
the  river,  which  had  risen  eight  feoi.  In  tho  sottlemeuts 
above  and  below  the  city  there  was  not  a  building  stand- 
ing. Biloxi  suffered  even  more ;  all  the  houses  and 
stores  were  overthrown,  aud  as  tho  sea  overflowed  its  ' 
bounds,  a  part  of  that  ])ost  was  inundated.  Tlio  coasters 
which  were  in  the  roadstead  were  driven  on  tho  islands,  or 
on  tho  mainland.  There  was  oven  one,  the  captain  of 
which  alone  escaped  with  a  cabin  boy,  having  spent  twen- 
ty-four hours  on  f ho  yard-arm ;  tho  rest  of  the  crew  wore 
drowned.  Several  periaguas,  coming  down  to  New  Or- 
leans loaded  with  provisions  aud  poultry,  were  wrecked. 
The  vegetables  that  were  mature  wero  destroyed,  aud  tho 
continual  rains  which  came  on  spoiled  a  good  part  of 
Avliat  was  still  green.' 

Meanwliile,  the  war  with  the  Chicachas  (Chickasaws) 
still  continued,  although  i'  was  coniined  to  some  sur- 
prises,' whicli  compelled  travellers  to  proceed  with  cau- 
tion. These  Indians  even  themselves  were  the  first  to 
grow  weary  of  it  at  a  time  when  they  might  have  given  us 
great  trouble.  Two  Canadians,  father  and  son,  having 
falltm  into  their  hands,  were  well  treated  by  them,  aud  the 
chiefs  begged  them  to  write  to  de  Bienville  that  if  he 
would  restore  them  to  favor,  they  would  releast;  the  priso- 
ners at  once.  Tiiey  did  more,  they  proceeded  to  the 
JSieur  de  (Irave,  commandant  at  the  Yazoos,  presented 
the  calumet  to  him,  aud  solicited  peace,  which  he  did  not 
deem  it  wise  to  refuse.

But  the  colony,  tliougli  roliovcd  as  far  as  this  tribo  was 
coucerued,  not  ouly  the  bravest  iu  all  Loiiysiaua,  but  also 
the  most  to  bo  feared  in  consequcuco  of  its  rulatious  with 
the  English,  soon  saw  that  it  could  depend  on  the 
fidelity  of  the  Natchez  only  so  long  as  they  kept  on  their 
guard  against  that  naturally  treacherous  nation.  In  fact, 
these  savages  no  sooner  perceived  that  the  French,  en- 
gaged in  othe)  affairs,  paid  less  attention  to  their  doings, 
than  they  renewed  their  outrages,  and  displayed  all  their 
ill  will,  of  which  it  will  bo  soon  seen  the  authorities  were 
not  sufficiently  on  their  guard. 

At  the  same  time  sad  tidings  camo  from  tlie  Illinois. 
Mr.  de  Boisbriaud,  warue'.'  that  the  (Illinoisj  of  the  Eock 
and  of  Pimiteouy  were  besieged  by  the  Foxes,  had  em- 
barked with  tiie  Chevalier  d'Artaguette  and  the  Sieur  du 
Tisuo,  both  captains,  several  other  officers  and  a  detach- 
ment of  a  hundred  men,  to  hasten  to  their  deliverance, 
and  had  ordered  forty  Frenchmen  and  four  hundred  In- 
dians to  march  by  land  to  Pimiteouy  and  await  him  there  ; 
but  when  each  division  had  got  about  half  way,  they 
learned  that  the  Foxes  had  retreated  with  a  loss  of  uioro 
than  a  hundred  and  twenty  of  their  men.  Tius  success 
did  not,  however,  prevent  the  Illinois,  although  they  liad 
lost  ouly  about  twenty  men,  ^vith  some  women  and  chil- 
dren, from  leaving  the  Ilock  and  Pimiteouy,  whore  they 
were  kept  in  <;onstant  alarm,  and  proceeding  to  unite  with 
tJ'oso  of  their  brethren  who  had  settled  on  the  Micissipi ; 
this  was  a  stroke  of  grace  for  most  of  them,  the  small 
number  of  mis.sionaries  provijutiug  their  suii})Iying  so 
many  towns,  scu.'tcred  fav  apart;  but  on  the  other  side,  as 
there  was  nothing'  to  check  the  raids  of  tho  Foxes  along 
the  Illinois  River,  communication  between  Louysiana 
and  New  France  became  much  less  practicabhv 

SoiuD  time  after  they  received  a  very  severe  check  from

HISTORY  OF  NE^V  FRANCE. 


1722.  their  fury  iucreased  tva  tlieir  forces  diminisliod,  and  com- 
^-"'^C'-^  ijuiiiicated  it  so  fully  !o  tlio  now  onoinics  they  raised  up 
ngaiust  us,  that  the  whole  course  aud  neigliborhood  of 
the  Micissipi  Avas  infested  witli  Indians  with  whom  wo 
Lad  never  had  an^-  diiliculty,  and  who  gave  no  quarter  to 
any  French  wliom  they  could  well  surprise  or  attack. 
Several  Natchez  came  out  openly  against  \is,'  and  what 
Tiic  Nat-  most  embarrassed  do  Bienville  was  the  fact  that  the 
poa'ir  Willi  brother  of  the  Great  Chief  was  at  their  head.  To  nialco 
'■  a  lasting  arrangement  with  this  nation,  it  would  have 
betm  necessary  to  have  this  man,  who  was  the  author  of 
all  the  evil,  given  up  to  the  Governor  by  his  own  brother, 
and  there  was  no  way  to  drive  the  latter  to  it.  The  wis- 
dom and  firmness  of  the  Sieur  Delietto,  who  commanded 
at  that  ])ost,  extricated  do  Biouvillo  from  this  difHculty. 
That  commandadt  so  adi'oitly  worked  on  the  mind  of  tho 
Great  Chief,  as  to  bring  him  to  resolve  to  go  in  jierson 
and  put  his  brother  at  tho  discretion  of  the  general,  who, 
on  his  side,  generously  pardoned  an  humbled  enemy  and 
gained  him.  Groat  marks  of  confideuce  were  given  ou 
both  sides,  and  this  good  understanding  would  to  all  ap- 
pearance have  been  L  arable,  had  Mr.  Delietto  lived  lon- 
ger. He  was  already  dead  when  I  reached  Natchez  at 
the  close  of  the  year  1722,  and  the  good  understanding,  it 
seemed  to  me,  was  still  p(!rfect  betwcieu  tho  French  and 
Indians.  A  little  more  disti'ust  and  precaution  ou  the 
side  of  the  former,  would  undoubtedly  have  deprived  the 
latter  of  tlie  very  thouglit  of  regarding  them  dilferently, 
and  prevented  the  evils  of  which  we  shall  soon  spuak.

over,  on  my  return  from  America  in  the  commencement  Futhei-s 
of  the  year  1723,  I  found  the  court  and  the  Company  Louysiana. 
equally  surprised  at  the  destitution  in  Avhich  I  showed 
this  rising  colony  to  be  in  this  essential  point,  and  the 
Directors  of  the  Company  made  it  their  most  pressing 
duty  to  remedy  this  great  disorder.  They  cast  tJioir 
eyes  on  the  Capuchin  Fathers,  and  having  obtained  seve- 
ral, distributed  them  in  the  quarters  where  there  were  the 
greatf  t  number  of  French  dwellings/ 

It  was  no  less  important  to  have  missionaries  among  Missiona- 
the  Indians  amid  whom  wo  were  settled.     We  have  seen  "^'indH'r

was  to  gain  thorn  to  Christ.  Nor  could  it  moreover  be 
iiuknown  that  even  indopontlont  of  the  fruit  which  the 
evangelical  laborers  might  produce  among  them,  the  mere 
presence  of  a  man,  venerable  by  his  office,  understanding 
their  language,  able  to  obseiTO  their  conduct,  and  able  by 
gaining  the  confidence  of  some  to  learn  their  designs,  is 
often  better  than  a  garrison,  or  may  at  least  supply  its 
place,  and  give  the  governors  time  to  take  steps  to  defeat 
thoii-  plots.  The  example  of  the  Illinois,  who  had  since 
1717  been  incorporated  with  the  government  of  Louysia- 
na,  was  sufficient  to  show  how  important  it  was  not  to 
leave  the  other  nations  any  longer  without  missic  naries.' 

The  India  Company  saw  this,  and  in  the  year  1725 
applied  to  the  Jesuits,  a  great  number  of  whom  offered 
themselves  for  this  new  mission.  But  as  the  Supe- 
riors could  not  grant  permission  to  all  to  devote  them- 
selves to  it,  and  there  were  not  enough  to  give  some  to  all 
the  tribes,  the  commandant  and  directors  thought  best  to 
place  the  first  who  anived  in  positions  where  there  M'cro 
no  Capuchins,  whence  it  happened  that  the  Natchez,  the 
very  people  whom  it  wa^  most  important  to  enlighten, 
had  none,  and  the  fault  thus  committed  was  not  perceived 
till  it  was  irreparable." 

Provision  was  at  the  same  time  made  for  the  education 
of  the  young  French  girls  at  the  capital  and  its  vicinity, 
by  bringing  over  Ursulincs  from  France ;  and  to  avoid

1726.  luako  wav  aucl  distinguish  himsolf  at  tlio  cxpcuao  of  tho 
Compauy.  But  wlicu  ho  rocoivod  this  lottor,  lio  had  ouly 
too  stroug  ovidenco  to  disprove  tlieao  iusultiug  suspicious, 
iu  au  uvout  which  soou  changed  tho  minds  of  thoso  wlioso 
advice  had  boon  taken  rather  than  liis.  In  tlio  letter  just 
mentioned,  and  written  from  New  Orleans,  he  says  :  "  I 
Lave  not  been  astouislicd  that  tli3  Company  lias  boon  as- 
sured that  troops  are  not  ueedod  iu  Louysiaua,  or  pres- 
ents for  tho  Indians,  to  retain  them  as  our  allies ;  novcr- 
theloss,  I  have  soon  the  men  who  maintained  this  absurd- 
ity, trembling  to  tho  very  marrow  of  their  bones,  although 
there  is  less  to  be  feared  here  than  elsewhere." 

In  another  letter,  dated  April  1st,  in  tho  same  year,  he 
adds  one  thing,  which  shows  that  ho  knew  the  Indians 
bettor  than  thoso  who  boasted  most  of  their  knowledge  of 
them.  Speaking  of  these  ludiaus,  lie  says  :  "  Wo  are  sure 
of  retaining  their  good  will  as  long  as  we  givo  them  what 
they  wish ;  but  as  they  feel  that  we  need  them,  they  mul- 
tiply their  wants  iu  such  a  way  that  the  Euglish  and  our- 
selves are  tho  dup(!S  of  these  savages,  who  are  much  less 
so  than  we."  What  he  proceeds  to  say,  that  wo  shall  not 
make  them  what  they  ought  to  bo,  till  after  wo  have  thor- 
oughly defeated  them,  is  not,  however,  true,  except  when 
they  have  given  grouacls  for  so  treating  tliom ;  for  nothing 
embitters  them  more  thau  to  make  war  ou  them  without 
cause ;  but  there  are  other  means  of  controlling  them. 
Mr,  Perrier  was  not  ignorant  of  them ;  and  in  fact  re- 
marks very  justly  in  his  proviou.-  letter,  that  the  war  in 
which  he  was  engaged  had  convinced  him  that  to  escape 
the  importunity  of  tho  Indians,  who  are  always  bogging, 
you  need  only  to  jiretend  to  do  without  them.  "  It  is," 
says  he,  "  the  means  to  make  them  all  wisli  to  follow  us. 
Then,  if  they  are  not  satisticd,  we  can  tell  them  that  they 
were  not  invited.  Although  it  is  necessary  to  bind  them 
to  us  by  presents  to  avoid  war,  you  must  never  ,  •  far 
reckon  on  theu"  fidelity  as  to  think  yourself  safe  from  insult." 
How(!vor,  botli  tJioso  wlio  depreciated  Perrier  witli  the 
Company,  and  Porrior  liimsolf,  either  did  not  know  or  ditl 
not  sufficiently  consider  that  Christianity  alone  can  avert

Tho  former  judged  of  tLo  Louysiaua  ludiaus  by  tlioso  of  ^■^"^'""^ 
Canada,  whoro  wo  have  soon  tho  Abeuaquia  and  all  tho 
Indiana  domiciliated  in  that  colony  outer  zoalously  and 
heartily,  often  very  disinterestedly,  into  all  that  was  asked 
of  them,  and  they  did  not  consider  that  Christianity 
alone  had  brought  thorn  to  this  disposition;  tho  Comman- 
dant-Gi>ncral,  who  had  never  known  any  Indians  except 
those  wliom  ho  had  to  deal  with,  did  not  sullicioutly  un- 
derstand that  religion,  if  they  could  bo  nmdo  to  appreci- 
ate our  Holy  Mysteries,  would  gradually  correct  tho 
faults  of  which  ho  complained. 

Bo  that  as  it  may,  tlio  trantjuillity  enjoyed  in  Louysia- 
ua since  peace  had  been  granted  to  the  Natchez  and 
Chickasaws,  was  but  a  delusive  calm  which  lulled  the  inhab- 
itants, while  there  was  gathering  aroimd  thorn  a  storm, 
whoso  most  disastrous  effects  wore  averted  only  by  moro 
chance,  saving  the  country  from  beccjuiing  in  a  single  day 
the  tomb  of  all  tho  French ;  but  which  was  fatal  indeed 
to  those  on  whom  it  burst,  and  who  had  no  time  to  shield 
themselves  from  it. 

For  several  years  past  tho  Chickasaws,  at  tho  insti«a-     Indian 

conspiriicy 

tion  of  some  EngHsJi,'  had  formed  tho  design  of  so  extir-  sm^n^i  the 

Fronch 

pating  the  whole  colony  of  Louysiaua,  that  not  a  single 
Frenchman  should  remain.  They  had  managed  their 
scheme  with  such  secrecy  that  the  Illinois,  tho  Acansas 
and  the  Tonicas,  to  whom  they  had  not  ventured  to 
impart  it,  aware  of  their  tried  attachment  to  us,  had  not 
the  shghtest  suspicion.  All  the  other  tribes  joined  it; 
each  was  to  fall  on  all  tho  settlers  marked  out  for  it,  and 
all  were  to  stidko  th  -)  same  day  and  tho  same  hour.  Even 
the  Tchactas,  (Choctaws,)  the  most  numerous  nation  on 
this  continent,  v<iud  at  all  times  our  allies,  had  been  won 
over,  at  least  those  on  tho  east,  who  are  called  tho  Great 
Nation;  those  on  tho  west,  or  Little  Nation,  had  taken 
no  part  in  it,  but  the  conspirators  long  preserved  the  se-

word  with  tho  Chickasaws,  to  whom  they  had  promised  to 
destroy  all  tho  settlements  depending  on  Fort  Maubilo. 
2ud.  To  act«so  as  to  enable  tlio  N.itchei!  to  oxocuto  their

their' fac<'  in  presence  of  the  French,  without  their  ventur- 
ing to  deny  it.     Wo  have  never  doubted  that  their  design 
was  to  force  us  to  call  upon  them,  and  by  this  moans,  pro-

for  those  whom  tho  Chickasaws  had  won  over,  to  succeed 
in  their  project,  as  no  French  settlement  had  any  defence 
against  a  surprise  and  sudden  attack.    There  were  forts 
indeed,  in  some  places,  but  except  that  at  Maubilo,  they 
were  only  stockades,  two  thirds  of  wliich  were  decayed, 
and  had  thoy  been  in  a  state  of  defence,  they  could  pro- 
tect from  the  fury  of  the  Indians  only  a  small  number  of 
the  nearest  dwellings.     Everywhere,  too,  men  lay  in  per- 
fect security,  which  would  have  enabled  these  savages  to 
massacre  all  tho  French,  even  in  tho  best-guarded  places.

spread  that  tho  Natchez  woro  plotting  something  against

houses  of  tho  settlors  and  tho  workshops  of  tho  mechau-

Tho  day  sot  for  tho  execution  of  tho  general  plot  had 
not  yet  come,  but  two  things  induced  tho  Natchez  to  an-

concession  was  at  no  groat  distance,  and  from  several 
other  persons  of  cousequenco,  for  they  saw  at  onco  that  by 
pretending  to  get  up  a  hunt,  to  furnish  Mr.  do  Chopar

HISTORY  OF  NEW  FRANCE. 


This  done,  early  on  Monday,  the  28th,  they  scattered 
through  the  dwellings,  announcing  that  they  were  about 
to  start  for  tho  hunt,  careful  to  outnumber  the  French 
ovorywhero.  They  then  sang  tho  calumet  in  honor  of  tho 
commandant  and  his  company,  after  which  each  returned 
to  his  post,  and  a  moment  later,  at  a  si^al  of  throe  mus- 
kot-sliots  fired  successively  at  the  door  of  Chepar's  quar- 
ters,' they  began  the  massacre  at  the  same  time  every- 
where. The  commandant  and  the  KoIIys  were  the  first 
killed ;  there  was  no  resistance  except  at  the  house  of  Mr. 
do  la  Loira  des  Ursins,'  Chief  Commissary  of  tho  India 
Company,  where  there  were  eight  men.'  They  fought 
well;  eight  Natchez  were  killed  there,  and  six  French- 
men, the  other  two  escaped.  Mr.  de  la  Loire  had  just 
mounted  hia  horse ;  at  the  fiidt  naii^e  he  hoard,  he  endeav- 
ored to  return  to  his  house,  but  was  intercepted  by  a 
party  of  Indians,  against  whom  he  held  out  for  some  time, 
till  he  fell  dead,  pierced  by  many  wounds,  after  killing 
four  Natchez.  Thus  these  savages  lost  at  this  point 
twelve  mon ;  but  that  was  all  their  treachery  cost  them.* 

Before  executing  their  plot,  they  had  made  sure  of 
several  negroes,  among  whom  were  two  commanders. 
These  had  persuaded  the  rest  that  under  the  Indians  they 
would  be  free ;  that  our  women  and  children  should  be- 
come their  slaves,  and  that  there  was  nothing  to  fear  from 
the  French  of  tho  other  posts,  as  the  massacre  would  bo 
carried  out  simultaneously  everywhere.  It  seems,  how- 
ever, that  the  secret  had  been  confided  only  to  a  small 
number,  for  fear  of  its  taking  wind.  Be  that  as  it  moy, 
two  hundred  men  perished  in  this  way  almost  in  an 
instant.     Of  all  the  French  who  were  at  this  post,  the

most  populous  of  all,  only  about  twenty  escaped,  and  live  17*9- 
or  six  negroes,'  most  of  thorn  wounded.  One  hundred 
and  fifty  children,  eighty  women,  and  almost  as  many  ne- 
groes, wore  taken."  The  Jesuit  Father  du  Foisson  and 
Mr.  du  Codere,  commandant  at  the  Yozoos,  who  hap- 
pened to  be  at  the  Natchez,  also  perished. 

The  former  had  started  from  his  Arkansas  mission  for 
some  busmess  that  required  his  presence  at  Now  Or- 
leans. Ho  arrived  at  the  Natchez  quite  late  on  the  2Gtli, 
intending  to  set  out  again  the  next  day, ;  fter  saying  mass. 
Unfortunately  for  him,  the  Capuchin  father,  who  exor- 
cised parochial  functions  at  that  place,  was  absent,  and 
Father  du  Poissou  was  requested  to  sing  high  mass  and 
preach,  it  being  the  first  Sunday  of  Advent,  and  ho  cou- 
Bented.  In  the  afternoon,  as  ho  was  on  the  point  of  em- 
barking, he  was  informed  that  there  wore  some  sick  per- 
sons at  the  point  of  death ;  he  attended  them,  adminis- 
tered the  last  sacraments  to  some,  and  deferred  ouo  till 
next  day,  as  his  case  was  not  so  urgent,  and  it  was 
nh-oady  quite  late.  The  next  day  ho  said  mass,  and  then 
carried  the  Viaticum  to  the  sick  man,  to  whom  he  had 
promised  it,  and  it  was  after  performing  this  duty  of  char- 
ity that  he  was  oucouutorcd  by  a  chief,  who  seized  him 
around  the  body,  threw  him  to  the  ground,  and  chopped 
off  his  head  with  an  axe.  Mr.  du  Codere,  who  happouod 
to  be  near,  had  already  drawn  his  sword  to  dufeud  him, 
when  another  Indian,  whom  he  had  not  seen,  shot  him  down.' 

During  this  massacre,  the  Sun,  or  Great  Cljief  of  the 
Natchez,  was  calmly  seated  under  the  tobacco  shed  of  the 
India  Company.  The  head  of  the  commandant  was  first 
brought  to  him,  then  those  of  the  leading  Frenchmen,

the  others  in  heaps.  Tho  bodios  wcro  left  unbm-iod,  to  be 
devoured  by  tho  dogs  and  birds  of  prey.  Those  savages 
spared  only  two  Fruuchmen,  who  might  bo  '.  i  some  ser- 
vico  to  them ;  ono  was  a  tailor,  and  the  other  a  oarpunter.* 
Thoy  did  not  ill  treat  tho  negro  and  Indian  slaves  who 
surrendered  without  offering  any  rosi.stanco ;  but  thoy 
rippod  up  tho  pregnant  womou,  and  butchered  almost  all 
thoso  who  had  children  at  the  breast,  because  they  an- 
noyed them  by  their  cries  and  tears.  All  the  other  women 
were  made  slaves,  and  treated  with  the  utmost  indignity. 

As  soon  as  thoy  were  sure  that  thero  were  no  more  men 
left  in  tho  country,  thoy  began  to  plunder  the  houses,  stores, 
and  tho  boats  in  the  port.  Tho  best  treated  of  all  were 
tho  negroes,  because  thoy  wished  to  sell  them  to  the  Eng- 
lish in  Carolina ;  and  to  dispel  any  hope  tho  women  and 
other  slaves  might  entertain  of  over  recovering  thoii"  lib- 
erty, they  assured  them  that  what  had  just  occurred  be- 
fore their  eyes,  had  hapj^enod  all  through  the  colony,  and 
that  not  a  single  Frenchman  was  loft  in  Louysiana,  where 
tho  Eughsh  would  at  once  come  to  take  their  place.  Some 
had,  nevertheless,  escaped  to  tho  woods,  where  they  suf- 
fered greatly  from  cold  and  hunger.  There  was  one  who 
at  night  ventured  to  come  out,  in  order  to  warm  himself  at 
a  house  which  ho  saw.  As  ho  approached,  he  heard  tho 
voices  of  Indians,  and  deliberated  whether  to  enter;  he 
made  up  his  mind  at  last  to  do  so,  preferring  a  violent  and 
speedier  death  to  the  slower  one  which  seemed  inevitable 
iu  his  actual  condition.  But  ho  was  agreeably  surprLsod 
by  tho  welcome  tho  Indians  gave  liim.  They  were  Ya- 
zoos,  who,  after  comforting  him,  gave  him  food  and  cover- 
ing, as  well  as  a  periugua  to  escape  to  Now  Orleans. 
Their  chief  even  commissiouod  liim  to  jissuro  Mr.  Porrier 
that  ho  had  nothing  to  fear  from  his  triljo,  which  would

This  laau  found  tlio  capital  in  great  alarm ;  nowa  of  tho  tiii^  «umu 
massacre  had  already  reached  it  by  tho  first  who  had  ca-  tio'Tuzwi. 
t;apod,  and  great  foar  was  ontortaiuod  for  tho  rreucli  set- 
tlors among  tho  Yazoos.  On  his  testimony  they  were 
somewhat  relieved,  but  this  did  not  lust  long.  On  tho 
11th  of  December,  tho  Jesuit  Father  Souel,  who  was 
missionary  to  tho  Tazoos,  then  mingled  in  tho  samo  vil- 
lage with  tho  Corrois  and  Offogoulas,  when  rctamiug  in 
tho  evening  from  visiting  tho  chief  of  tho  Yazoos,  re- 
ceived several  musket- shots  as  he  was  crossing  a  river, 
and  expired  on  the  spot.  His  murderers  at  ouco  ran  to 
his  cabin  to  plunder  it.  Ilis  negro,  recently  baptized,  and 
who  lived  quite  piously,  attempted  to  defend  himself  with 
a  woodcutter's  knife,  and  even  wounded  an  Indian,  but  ho 
was  at  once  pierced  with  thrusts. 

Father  Souel  was  much  beloved  by  those  Inchans,  but  Cansos  of 
they  rebelled  at  his  constantly  reproaching  them  with  the 
infamous  sin  which  brought  destruction  on  Sodom,  aud  to 
which  they  were  gieatly  addicted  ;  and  there  is  every  pro- 
bability that  this  wiia  tho  main  cause  of  his  death ;  for 
although  tho  Yazoos  and  Corrois  had  already  resolved  to 
exterminate  all  the  French,  tho  very  men  who  had  slain 
the  missionary  reproached  themselves  with  his  death  as 
Boon  as  their  blood  cooled.  They  however  socu  recov- 
ered tlioir  natural  ferocity,  and  began  to  cry  that  as  the 
Chief  of  tho  Prayer  was  dead,  no  Frenchman  must  bo 
spared. 

Early  the  next  morning  they  proceeded  to  tho  fort,  Fid;>iityo' 
which  was  only  a  league  from  their  village.     On  seeing  Offogoulas.

"^'  ■"  Natchez  to  the  Yazoos,  no  information  had  reached  the 
latter  post  of  what  had  occurred  nearly  a  fortnight  before 
in  the  former.  Tlio  Indians  wore  accordingly  allowed  to 
enter  the  fort,  and  when  it  was  least  expected,  they 
rushed  on  tho  French,  who  wore  only  seventeen  in  all; 
they  had  not  even  time  to  attempt  to  defend  themselves, 
and  not  one  cscapod.  These  savages  spared  tho  lives 
only  of  four  women  and  five  children,  whom  they  mado 
slaves.  One  of  Father  Souel's  murderers  at  once  put  on 
his  cassock,  and  in  this  attire  proceeded  to  announce  to 
tho  Natchez  tho  massacre  of  all  the  French  settlers  on 
their  river.'  The  Corrois  joined  them  in  this  expedition. 
The  OlTogoulas  were  then  on  a  hunt;  on  their  return 
they  wore  strongly  urged  to  enter  the  plot ;  but  they  stea- 
dily refused,  and  withdrew  to  the  Tonicas,  whom  they 
know  to  be  of  all  the  Indians  tho  most  inviolably  attached 
to  tho  French.

Father  Doutreleau,'  missionary  to  tho  Illinois,  dispelled

his  Indians'  winter  hunt  to  como  down  to  the  capital,  and

solved to  celebrate  tho  Holy  Mj'steries  at  tho  mouth  of 
the  Yazoo  Biver.  While  he  was  making  ready,  a  peria-

cordially  offered  provisions  to  tho  companions  of  tho  mis- 
sionary. A  momont  after,  tho  latter  perceived  some  wild 
geese  flying  overhead ;  tho  Canadians  never  resist  tho 
tolnptation  of  firing  when  they  see  game ;  these  voyageurs 
had  only  two  guns  looded ;  they  fired  both  at  the  geese, 
and  as  tho  father  was  all  vested  to  begin  mass,  thoy  did 
not  think  of  reloaiUng. 

Tho  Indians  noted  it  well,  and  took  thoir  places  be 
hind  tho  French,  as  if  they  wished  to  hoar  the  mass, 
although  they  were  not  Chiistions.  As  tho  priest  was 
saying  tho  Eyrio  oleison,  they  fired.  Father  Doutreleau 
feeling  himself  wounded  in  tho  right  arm,  and  seeing  ono 
of  his  men  fall  dead  at  his  feet,  knelt  down  to  receive  in 
that  posture  tho  death-blow,  which  seemed  inevitablo.  In 
fact,  tho  Indians  fired  throe  times  at  him,  almost  at  tho 
point  of  the  muzzlo,  but  novertheless  indicted  no  now 
wound.  Then,  full  of  confidenco  in  Divino  Providence, 
whoso  protection  was  so  clearly  shown,  he  took  his  chal- 
ice and  paten,  and,  attired  as  he  was  in  his  priestly  vest- 
ments, ran  to  tho  spot  whore  his  periagua  was.  His  two 
surviving  men  had  already  jumped  in,  and  believing  him 
dead  or  unable  to  escape  from  tho  Indians,  had  pulled  off. 

Tho  missionary  waded  out  to  roach  them,  and  as  ho  got 
into  tho  poriagua,  having  turned  his  head  to  see  whether 
he  was  pursued,  received  a  charge  of  duck-shot  in  tho 
mouth.  Most  of  tho  shot  flattened  against  his  teeth,  and 
some  entered  his  gums.  Ho  escaped  with  this,  and  un- 
dertook to  steer  the  periagua ;  his  two  men,  one  of  whom 
had  his  leg  broken  by  a  musket-bull,  rowing  with  all  their 
might.  The  Indians  pursued  them  for  more  than  au 
hour,  keeping  up  a  constant  fire  on  them  ;  but  seeing  pur- 
suit useless,  which  surprised  tho  missionary  still  more, 
thoy  regained  tho  shore.  It  was  afterwards  ascertained 
that  on  arriving  at  their  town,  they  boasted  of  having 
killed  a  Jesuit  and  all  his  boatmen. 

Nor  was  it  indeed  without  difficulty  that  they  escaped, 
as  long  as  their  enemies  kept  up  tho  stubborn  chase ;  the

but  oDoourago<l  by  tho  miHsionarj,  thoy  in  turn  alarmed 
the  Indians,  who,  apparently  having  now  neither  powder 
nor  balls,  throw  themBolvos  down  flat  in  their  periagua 
whenever  one  of  tho  two  Frenchmen  aimed  at  them  an 
old  mnsket,  that  was  not  oven  loaded,  and  they  ut  last 
disappeared.  Onr  party,  delivered  from  this  alarm,  dressed 
their  wounds  as  well  as  they  could,  then  lightened  thoir 
periagua  by  throwing  overboard  everything  not  absolutely 
needed,  and  keeping  only  a  little  raw  pork  for  their 
subsistence. 

On  coming  opposite  Natchez,  unconscious  of  what  had 
occurred  there,  thoy  ran  in  towards  the  landing,  intending 
to  rest  there  and  have  medical  aid ;  but  seeing  the  near- 
est houses  burned  or  demolished,  durst  not  land.  Some 
Indians  who  had  discovered  them,  in  vain  invited  them  to 
approach  by  making  every  demonstration  of  friendship; 
they  passed  on  as  quick  as  they  conld.  Then  tho  Indians 
fired  several  guns  at  them ;  but  thoy  wore  already  out  of 
reach.  They  intended  also  to  pass  tho  Bay  of  the  Toni- 
oas  without  stopping,  but  with  all  the  exertion  in  thoir 
power,  a  periagua,  sent  out  to  reconnoitre,  soon  over- 
hauled them.  Thoy  gave  themselves  up  for  lost  past  all  re- 
source, till  thoy  heard  French  spoken  iu  the  periagua. 
Then  thoy  lay  to,  and  they  recovered  entii-ely  from  their 
fright  on  seeing  some  Frenchmen  who  were  in  the  boat. 

They  were  taken  ashore,  where  they  found  troops  as- 
sembhng  to  go  and  punish  tho  Natchez.  The  officers 
lavished  their  attentions  on  Father  Doutroleau,  had  his 
wounds  dressed  by  the  army  surgeon,  as  well  as  that  of 
his  boatman,  whose  leg  was  broken,  and  after  giving  them 
rest  and  refreshment,  they  placed  him  and  his  two  men 
on  a  periagua,  which  they  were  sending  to  New  Orleans. 
He  promised  them  to  return  and  serve  as  their  chaplain 
as  soon  as  his  wounds  were  healed:'  ho  kept  his  word,

of  the  lunaHncro  \Yliich  thuso  ludiann  had  oommittod  on

Mr.  Porrior  was  informed  of  it  on  the  Hocond  of  De- 
cember.' Ho  at  onco  dispatched  tlio  Siour  lo  Morveilleiix, 
a  Hwiss  captain,  with  a  detachment  to  warn  all  tho  set- 
tlers on  both  sides  of  tho  river  to  bo  on  their  guard,  and 
to  throw  up  redoubts  at  intervals,  in  order  to  secure  their 
slaves  and  cattlo,  and  this  was  promjjtly  oxooutod.  Ho 
then  enjoined  tho  samo  olHcor  to  observe  closely  tho  small 
tribes  on  tho  rivor,  and  to  givo  arms  to  no  Indians,  ex- 
cept when  and  to  whom  ho  should  direct.  He  at  tho 
samo  time  dispatched  a  courier  to  summon  to  him  Vvo 
Choctaw  chiefs,  who  were  hunting  on  Lake  Pontchar- 
train.  Tho  next  day  a  poriagua  from  Illinois  reached 
Now  Orleans,  bringing  a  Choctaw,  who  asked  to  spoak  to 
him  in  private.  Ho  admitted  him  at  onco,  and  this  man 
told  him  that  ho  was  greatly  afreotod  by  tho  death  of  tho 
French,  and  would  have  prevented  it  had  ho  not  deemed  a 
falsehood  what  some  Chickasaws  had  told  him,  namely, 
that  all  the  Indians  were  to  destroy  all  tho  French  settle- 
ments, and  massacre  all  tho  men.  "  What  prevented  mo," 
ho  addod,  "from  crediting  this  story,  was  their  stating 
that  my  tribe  was  in  tho  plot ;  but  Father,  if  yon  will 
let  mo  go  to  my  country,  I  will  immediately  return  to  ren- 
der a  good  report  of  what  I  have  done  there." 

Mr.  Pernor  had  no  sooner  loft  this  Indian  than  others 
from  tho  smaller  tribes  came  to  wani  him  to  distrust  tho 
Chocta.vs,  and  ho  learned  almost  at  the  same  time  that

Mr.  Porrior  to  send  negroes  and  destroy  thoui. 

On  tho  fifth  ho  adopted  tho  plan  of  sending  tho  Saint 
Michael  to  Franco,  to  inform  tho  Court  and  Company  of 
the  condition  in  which  Louysiana  was,  and  ask  relief  pro- 
portioned to  its  actual  need.  Two  days  after,  quo  of  tho 
two  Choctaw  chiefs  whom  ho  had  sent  for,  came  to  tell 
Lim  that  ho  had  dispatcliod  his  letter  to  his  nation,  and 
iuvited  all  who  were  enemies  of  tho  Natchez  to  march 
ngainst  them,  and  that  he  advised  him  not  to  employ  tho 
smaller  tribes,  as  lio  Hus])octed  thom  of  boing  in  concert 
with  tho  Natchez.  "I  also  suspect  thom,"  said  Mr.  Por- 
rior, "  but  if  they  aro  in  tho  plot,  it  is  because  they  aro 
convinced  that  you,  too,  are  impUcatod  ;  however,  wheth- 
er you  aro  or  not,  I  have  given  good  orders  overywhero, 
and  I  am  very  glad  that  you  know  that  tho  secret  boa

On  the  first  day  of  January,  uneasy  at  not  receiving 
any  dispatches  from  tho  Sieur  Regis,  who  by  his  orders 
resided  among  tho  Choctaws,  ho  dispatched  tlio  Siour

^73'^-  como  wliou  quite  younp;  from  his  native  Canndn  to  Louy- 
'~ r'^  '  siana,  anil  liad  yrowu  up  among  these  tribes,  counted 
enough  on  the  fiiL-ud-iliip  which  all  the  Indians,  and  those 
especially,  liad  over  shown  him  to  offer  to  go  to  them. 
His  offer  was  accepted,  and  he  sot  cut  from  Fort 
Moubile  on  the  uiuctoonth.  With  groat  toil  ho  visited  all 
the  villages ;  ho  was  well  received  every  where,  and  had 
no  greac  difficulty  in  forming  the  corps  of  seven  hundred 
warriors  of  whom  I  have  spoken,  and  whom  he  led 
straight  against  the  Natchez. 

On  his  side,  Perrier  sent  up  lo  the  Tonicas  two  of  tho 
Companj^'s  vessels.  Ho  sent  overland  warning  to  all  tho 
posts,  as  far  as  tho  Illinois,  of  wLit  had  happened  and 
what  he  intended  to  do.  He  dug  a  ditch  around  Now  Or- 
leans ;  ho  placed  barracks  at  its  four  angles ;  ho  organ- 
ized militia  compunies  for  the  defence  of  tho  city,  and  as 
there  was  more  to  fear  for  tlu^  soltloments  and  conces- 
sions than  for  tho  capital,  he  threw  up  entrenchments 
everywhere,  and  erected  forts  in  *he  most  exposed  points ; 
he  fiuallv  prepared  to  go  aud  take  command  of  his  littlo 
army  wliich  was  assembling  in  tho  Bay  of  the  Tonicas. 
But  it  was  represented  to  him  that  his  presence  was  abso- 
lutely required  at  New  Orleans ;  that  wo  were  not  yet 
perfectly  sure  of  tho  Choctaws,  and  that  there  was  even  a 
fear  that  tho  negroes,  if  these  Indiai;.->  declared  against  us, 
would  join  them  in  tho  hope  of  escaj.iug  from  slavery,  as 
some  had  done  at  Natchez.  Ho  accordingly  judged  it 
best  to  confide  tho  expedition  to  tho  Chevalier  de  Lou- 
bois,  Major  of  New  Orleans,  whoso  valor  and  experienco 
ho  know.' 
Disposition  The  first  effect  of  his  preparations  was  to  restore  to  our

Natchitoches,  and  they  all  gavo  striking  proofs  of  it  in  ^-^v— 
the  course  of  this  war.     On  tho  other  hand,  tho  Natchez 
boemed    to   behold   without   alarm   tho   storm   gathering 
against  them.      They  did  not  at  first  despair  of  winning 
over  tho  Touicas,  and  on  tho  9th  of   Doccmbor  sent  to 
them  tho   Tioux,  a  littlo  tribo  long  domiciliated  among 
them,  to  offer  them  some  of  tho  plunder  taken  from  tho 
French,  in  order  to  win  them  over  to  their  side.    They 
did  not  succeed  in  this,  but  killed  two  straggling  French- 
men whom  they  found. 
On  tho  10th,  tho  Sieur  lo  Merveilleux  entered  that  bay  Tho  French 

army 

with  his  detachment  and  some  Frenchmen  who  had  as«i:iiii>ic« 
joined  him.  Ho  entrenched  for  fear  of  surprise.  Tho  Toniciw. 
following  dayK  all  tho  troops  ai  rived,  and  on  tho  18th  tho 
Chevalier  do  Loubois  entered  it  witii  twouty-livo  additional 
soldiers.'  Ho  found  tho  whole  army  encamped,  well  en- 
trenched, and  in  good  condition.  Ho  had  two  days  pre- 
viously detached  the  Sieur  Mexplox  with  five  men  to  ob- 
tain tidings  of  the  enemy,  and,  the  better  to  ascertain 
their  strength,  he  had  ordered  him  to  throw  out  somo 
proposals  of  peace ;  but  as  ho  was  on  the  point  of  land- 
ing, ho  received  a  volley  of  musketry,  which  killed  three 
of  his  men,  Icaviiig  him  and  two  others  prisoners.  The 
next  day  the  Natchez  sent  ono  of  these  latter  to  Mr.  do 
Loubois  to  make  proposals  also  on  their  side,  but  they  as- 
sumed a  haught}'  tone,  which  revealed  great  confidence 
and  groat  contempt  for  us. 

They  asked  in  the  first  place  that  we  should  give  as

the  Sieur  Moxplex  and  the  soldier  left  with  him.'

over  them.  Up.  Ho  apparently  did  not  yet  know  that  our  army  was 
at  tho  Bay  of  tho  Tonicas,  or  was  unable  to  control  tho 
selfish  impetuosity  of  his  Indians,'  who  wished  to  have 
tho  best  part  of  the  booty,  and  also  profit  by  the  prison- 
erc  whom  they  delivered,  for  tho  sequel  leads  us  to  infer 
this.  Bo  that  as  it  may,  they  charged  the  eneisy  do 
fiercely  that  they  killed  eighty  men,  took  sixteen  women 
prisoners,"  delivered  fifty-one  French  wonen  and  child- 
ren, tho  two  mechanics  whom  the  Natchez  had  spared, 
and  a  hundred  and  fifty  negroes  and  negi-essos.  They 
would  even  have  pushed  their  victory  further,  for  it  had 
cost  them  only  two  men  killed,  and  some  wounded,  Jiad 
not  those  of  our  negroes,  whom  the  Natchez  had  won 
over,  taken  up  arms  on  their  side,  and  prevented  the  Choc- 
taws from  carrying  off  their  powder;  this  would  ).ave 
compelled  tho  enemy  to  sun-ender  or  fly.  Thare  can  be 
no  doubt  that,  had  this  attack  been  concerted  with  tho 
Chevalier  de  Loubois,  not  a  Natchd  would  have  escaped.'

Bonio  men,  whose  authority  should  not,  I  think,  prevail 
over  his.  And  the  misfortune  is,  that  sorao  (if  those  who 
wore  loudest  in  condemning  the  manner  in  which  tho  Nat- 
chez war  was  managed,  were  not  more  fortunate  in  tho 
Chickasaw  war,  and  committed  nearly  tho  same  faults 
with  which  thoy  reproached  Mr.  Porrier  xnd  those  com- 
manding under  him,  if  faults  they  were. 

Be  that  as  it  may,  do  Loubois  on  the  2nd  of  February  Do  LoniM.is 
marched  from  the  Bay  of  the  Tonicas  with  two  hundred  thoNauhuz 

.  in  ilioir 

men  and  some  field-pieces ;  on  the  8th  he  arrived  at  the  torta. 
Natchez  and  encamped  around  the  temple.  On  tho  12th 
the  cannon  were  placed  in  battery  before  one  of  tho  two  In- 
dian forts,  and  as  it  was  supposed  that  these  preparations, 
especially  after  the  defeat  they  had  received,  would 
induce  them  to  submit  to  all  exacted  of  them,  they 
were  notified  that  they  might  still  avoid  their  total 
ruin  by  this  submission ;  but  they  were  found  more  reso- 
lute than  ever  to  defend  themselves.'  Accordingly  v!e 
Loubois  opened  next  morning  with  seven  cannon ;  but 
thoy  were  two  hundred  and  fifty  fathoms  from  tho  fort, 
and  they  were  so  badly  handled  that,  after  six  hours'  con- 
stant fire,  they  had  not  dislodged  a  single  palisade,  which 
put  the  Choctaws  in  a  very  bad  humor,  as  they  had  been 
assured  that  a  largo  breach  would  bo  made  in  two  hours. 
On  the  other  hand,  tho  insolence  and  avidity  of  these  In- 
dians, whom  nothing  could  satisfy,  and  who  wasted  a 
part  of  the  munitions  given  them,  disgusted  the  French 
commandant  as  much  as  the  desperate  resistance  of  the 
Natchez. 

On  the  15th  he  again  wished  to  try  whether  they  had 
not  become  more  tractable ;  ho  sent  them  an  interpreter

""'''^'^^  with  a  volley  of  musketry,  which  alarmed  him  so  that  in 
his  fear  he  threw  aside  his  flag.  It  would  have  fallen  into 
the  enemy's  hands,  if  a  young  soldier  had  not  had  the 
courage  to  go  and  recover  it,  exposing  himself  to  the  tiro 
of  the  besieged ;  an  exploit  which  on  his  return  to 
camp  won  his  promotion  to  the  rank  of  sergeant.  Tiio 
same  day  the  Natchez  made  a  sortie,  with  a  view  to  sur- 
prise de  Loubois,  who  was  quartered  in  their  temple,  but 
it  failed.  During  the  night  of  the  19th-20th,  a  trench 
was  opened  two  hundred  and  eighty  fathoms  from  the 
fort,  and  on  the  21st  the  cannonade  was  renewed.  "If 
the  opening  of  the  trench  was  so  long  delayed,  this  de- 
lay," says  Mr.  Perrier,  in  one  of  his  letters,  "was  caused 
by  the  ill-will  of  our  soldiers  find  some  other  Frenchmen, 
who  thereby  prevented  the  entire  destruction  of  the 
Natchez." 
They  raiikc      On  the  22nd,  these  Indians  made  a  second  sortie,  to 

ckar  uie  the  number  of  three  hundred,'  attacking  in  three  places; 

Thty'^iire  they  surprised,  in  the  trench,  an  outpost  of  thirty   men 
rcini  set  >j  ^^^^^  j.^,^  officers,  who  all  took  flight,  imagining  that  they 

^d'Aiu-"^  were  attacked  simultaneously  by  the  Natchez  and  the 
Kut'tio.  (jiioctaws ;  they  were  ready  to  seize  the  cannon,  when  the 
Chevalier  d'Artaguette  came  up,  and  although  he  had 
only  five  men  with  him,  he  repulsed  the  enemy,  and  re- 
covered the  trench.  Wo  had  only  one  man  killed  that 
day.  The  same  Auy  de  Loubois  ordered  forty  soldiers, 
as  many  Indians,  and  some  negroes,  to  storm  the  two 
forts  the  next  day  ;  but  this  was  not  carried  out.  On  the 
24;th,  a  battery  of  four  four  pounders  was  planted  within 
a  hundred  and  eighty  fathoms,  and  at  the  same  time  they 
threatened  to  reduce  the  besieged  to  powder,  if  they  did  not 
surrender  the  prisoners  they  held.  They  immediately  sent 
back  the  wife  of  the  Sieur  Desnoyers,  to  whom  thi'y  confided 
theii-  proposals.     She  was  retained  and  no  answer  sent."

Porrier  pretends  that  what  obliged  de  Louboia  to  rest  1 73°- 
satisfied  with  saving  the  prisouors  still  iu  the  hands  of  the  """^"^ 
Indians,  without  attempting  an  assault,  was,  iu  the  first  whntsavcd 
l)lace,  because  ho  could  not  depend  upon  his  troops,  espe- 
cially after  seeing  them  abandon  the  troncli,  as  thoy  did 
on  the  22nd;  in  the  second  place,  that  the  Choctaws 
were  suspected  of  a  design  of  betraying  us ;  thirdly,  that 
the  enemy  had  spread  the  report  that  the  Chickasaws 
and  English  were  coming  to  their  assistance.  Mean- 
while, on  the  25th,  the  fort  most  closely  invested '  hoisted 
a  flag.  A  Choctaw  chief  at  once  advanced  with  a  party 
of  his  men,  to  speak  to  the  besieged.  "  Do  you  remem- 
ber, or  have  you  ever  seen,"  said  he,  "  that  Indians  ever 
kept  the  field  in  such  numbers  before  a  fort  for  two 
months  ?  Judge  by  this  our  zeal  for  the  French.  Hence 
it  is  useless  for  you,  a  mere  handful  of  men  compared 
with  us,  to  refuse  ai.y  longer  obstinately  to  give  up  the 
prisoners  whom  you  hold,  for  if  the  French  were  to  fire 
all  their  cannon,  you  would  soon  be  iu  powder.  For  our 
part,  know  that  we  are  resolved  to  keep  you  blockaded 
here  till  you  submit  to  what  is  required  of  you,  if  we  have 
to  plant  grain  and  settle  here." 

Perrier  assures  us,  in  his  letters,  that  in  this  parley,  or 
in  some  other  interview,  the  Natchez  reproached  the 
Choctaws  in  the  presence  of  the  French,  with  having 
themselves  entered  the  general  conspiracy,  of  which  they 
gave  all  the  particulars.' 

The  fact  is,  that  these  Indians  hoisted  their  flag  only  They  ^ivu 
to  make  known  that  they  consented  to  give  up  the  prison-     Frcncii 
ers ;  but  thoy  at  thu  same  time  declared  tlxat  we  must  bo    umi  the 
satisfied  with  that,  and  before  ail  else,  the  army  with  its     ruUud. 
cannon  must  withdraw  to  the  bank  of  the  river ;  if  not 
that,  they  would  burn  all  their  prisoners.      This  last  con- 
sideration determined  de  Loubois  to  do  wiuit  was  asked 
of  him,  yet  without  abandoning  his  design  to  prevent  the

given  up  to  the  Choctaws,  and  the  army  withdrew  to  tho 
bluflf  on  the  riverside,  having  had  during  tho  whole  siege 
only  nine  men  killed  and  wouudod.*  On  the  night  of  the 
28th-29th,  tho  Natchez,  having  succooded  in  outwittiug 
tho  French  who  had  boon  appointed  to  watch  thorn,  es- 
caped, and  this  was  perceived  only  when  it  was  too  late  to 
pursue  thorn.'  Thus  the  sole  fruit  of  this  expcdiiion  was 
tho  rescue  of  tho  prisoners,  who  hud  next  to  be  rausoined 
fi'om  the  Choctaws,'  and  the  erection  of  a  fort  ou  the 
very  spot  to  which  they  had  retired.  Tho  Chovalior 
d'Aitaguottc,*  who  had  oxtromoly  distinguished  himself  in 
all  the  engagements,  was  left  atj  commandant  with  a  gar- 
rison, in  order  to  secure  tho  navigation  of  tho  river. 

It  is  admitted  that  the  soldiers  acted  very  badly  at  the 
siege i  that  fifteen  negroes,  who  were  put  under  arms, 
fought  like  heroes,  and  that  if  all  tho  others  could  have 
been  armed  and  put  in  the  placo  of  tho  soldiers,  they 
■would  have  succeeded  in  storming  the  besieged  works. 
Tho  settlers,  commanded  by  d'Arembourg  and  do  Laye, 
also  did  very  well.^  They  cheerfully  undertook  all  tho 
labors,  and  whatever  else  was  ordered.  "  These  Creoles," 
says  Mr.  Perrior,  "  will  be  good  soldiers  as  soon  as  they 
are  diilled.  In  fine,  the  Natchez  were  reduced  to  the

cue:uios  threatouod." 

Before  resolving  to  make  war  ou  tho  Natchez,  the  Choo-  inaoUnco 
taws  had  gone  to  thoui  to  enter  into  some  uogotiatiuu  ciioeuw*. 
with  them,  aud  I  .loy  had  met  wilii  a  straigo  euougli  rocep- 
tion.  They  found  those  Indians  and  thoir  horsos  docked 
with  chasubles  and  autopoudiums ;  many  wore  pateus 
around  thoir  nocks  ;  drunk  aud  made  others  drink  brandy 
out  of  tho  chalices  and  ciboiiums.  In  a  word,  they  found 
nothing  in  the  chapel  that  thoy  had  not  put  to  the  moat 
profane  aud  sacrilogions  use.  This  highly  pleased  tho 
Choctaws,  who  in  iho  sotpiol,  securing  this  booty,  renewed 
the  profanation  commiLtod  by  their  enemies,  aud  it  was 
fouud  impossible  to  rescue  all  from  their  hands.  More- 
over, had  these  savages  rendered  the  French  all  the  ser- 
vice in  their  power,  by  acting  in  couctirt  with  them,  their 
evil  ilispositiou  always  xuade  them  most  odious  to  tho 
colony.  "  There  had  never  yet  been  soon  in  all  America," 
wrote  a  missionary,  eye-witness  of  eveiythiug  thou  occur- 
ring, "  Indiaus  more  iusolout,  more  ferocious,  more  disgust- 
ing, more  importunate,  more  insatiable." 

However,  they  wore  still  needed,  and  had  to  be  man- 
aged. Tho  Natchez  wore  uot  destroyed ;  they  could  in 
future  be  regarded  only  as  irreconcilable  enemies,  aud  it 
was  to  be  expected  that  as  long  as  they  subsisted,  thoy 
would  do  us  through  themselves  and  through  tho  enemies 
whom  they  would  endeavor  to  raise  up  against  us,  all  tho 
evil  possible  to  savages,  who  had  no  tei'ms  to  make.  Tho 
Chickusaws  ilid  not  yet  ai)pear,  but  we  wero  conscious 
tiiat  they  wore  the  authors  of  the  whole  trouble,  aud  their 
engagements  with  the  English  loft  no  doubt  but  that  thoy 
would  bo  powerfully  supported  by  tho  latter  whenever 
tlioy  thought  fit  to  lift  the  mask.  Tho  sequel  only  justi- 
fied tliesu  suspicions.

which  guvo  all  the  other  negroes  such  a  horror  of  the  In- 
dians lis  to  make  them  more  docile  aud  more  faithful.'  The 
Yazoos,  Corrois  and  Tioux,  were  not  more  fortunate  than 
the  Natchez.  The  Akausas  fell  on  them  and  made  a  per- 
fect muasacre ;  of  the  two  former  nations,  only  fifteen 
Indians  remained,  who  hastened  tu  join  the  Natchez ;  the 
Tioux  were  all  killed  to  a  man. 

„. ,  Ti'«  About  the  same  time  it  was  discovered  that  the  Chicka- 

ill  vahi    saws,  after  a  useless  attempt  to  draw  the  Akausas  aud 

iiaciity  of  iomcas  mto  the  general  conspu'acy,  had  applied  also,  but 
with  as  Uttle  success,  to  the  Illinois ;  these  Indians  reply- 
ing curtly,  that  as  they  were  all  Christians,  the  Chickasawa 
must  never  expect  to  detach  them  from  the  French  ;  that 
they  would  always  place  themselves  between  them  and 
their  enemies,  who  would  have  to  trample  over  their 
dead  bodies  before  they  could  touch  one  of  the  French. 
They  soon  after  learned  what  had  been  done  at  the  Nat- 
chez aud  Yuzoos,  and  at  once  two  troops  of  Mitchigamias 
and  Kaskasquias,  led  by  the  two  head  chiefs  of  those  two 
Illinois  tribes,  descended  to  New  Orleans,  to  bewail  tho 
missionaries  who  had  perished  in  that  massacre,  and  offer 
the  General  all  who  depended  ou  them  to  avenge  the 
French.  Mr.  Perrier  gave  them  audience  with  much 
pomp,  and  they  spoke  as  Christians  and  faithful  alUes,  in 
a  manner  that  charmed  all.  Nor  did  they  edify  the  whole 
city  less  by  their  piety  and  the  correctness  of  their  con- 
duct, aud  they  took  leave  of  the  General,  promising  him 
to  guard  well  their-  own  country,  and  all  the  upper  part  of 
the  river. 
T,,p  Mr.  Perrier  next  learned  that  the  EngUsh  had  earnestly

employed  those  ludiaus,  you  would  bo  always  at  tho  mor-  """^f^ 
cy  of  thoir  caprice  and  inconstancy ;  that  they  got  tho 
idea  that  wo  applied  to  them  only  because  wo  wore  inca- 
pable of  making  war,  and  so  prevalent  had  this  opinion 
become  among  all  those  nations,  that  tho  smallest,  putty 
tribe  regarded  itself  as  the  bulwark  and  protection  of 
the  colony.  That  after  five  or  six  years,  tho  num- 
ber of  troops  might  be  gradual'  decreased,  as  during 
that  time  tho  Creoles  would  multiply  and  bo  trained ;  that 
then  we  should  have  even  more  Indians  ready  to  side 
with  us  wlion  they  saw  that  wo  no  longer  needed  them. 

For  some  time  the  Natchez  had  not  been  heard  of,  but  ^.'''''" 
at  last  tidings  came  that  they  wore  renewing  their  raids  ;  rcmw  tiieir 
that  they  had  surprised  ten  Frenchmen  and  twenty  ne- 
groes, and  t)iat  none  had  escaped  but  a  young  soldier, 
who  had  already  escaped  the  great  massacre  of  November 
28tli,  and  two  negroes.  The  General  then  saw  that  no 
time  was  to  be  lost  in  rendering  that  nation  utterly  inca- 
pable of  injuring  us ;  and  as  the  intrigues  of  tho  English 
among  tlie  Choctaws  had  increased  his  anxiety  in  regard 
to  those  Indians,  he  deemed  it  imperative  to  begin  by 
setting  his  mind  at  rest  in  regard  to  them.  He  accord- 
ingly resolved  on  having  an  explanation  from  the  chiefs, 
and  notified  them  of  his  wish  to  have  an  interview  with 
them  at  Maubilo.  Ho  fixed  a  time  when  he  would  go 
there,  and  when  ho  judged  that  they  would  soon  arnvo, 
ho  left  New  Orleans,  where  his  presence  was  less  necessa- 
ry now  that  reinforcements  had  arrived  from  Franco,  as  I 
shall  soon  explain. 

On  lauding,  he  found  that  they  had  anticipated  the  uuy 
by  twenty-four  hours.  He  was  even  agreeably  surprised 
to  see  there  the  Chief  of  the  Caouitas,  a  numerous  tribe, 
strongly  attached  to  tho  English,  and  a  Chickasaw  chief. 
He  began  by  inquiring  from  tho  Siour  Regis,  fi'om  Father 
Baudoiu,  tho  Jesuit  who  was  endeavoring  to  establish  a 
mission  among  tho  Choctaws,  and  from  the  interpreters, 
what  effect  had  been  produced  on  the  mind  of  the  Indians

grouud  to  bo  diusutistiod  with  Ihom  ;  but  that  some  of  tho 
Wostoru  chiofs  hud  uusworod  for  tho  good  fuith  of  our 
uatiou, addiug:  "It  is  tho  Euglish  who  corrupt  our  miud." 
Porsuadod  by  this  language,  they  hail  started  for  Mau- 
bilo,  which  they  eutorod  ou  the  2Gth  of  October,  to  thu 
uumber  of  eight  huudrod  mou.  Ou  the  28th,  Porrier, 
who  had  arrived  on  tho  27th,  began  to  treat  with  them, 
and  he  had  to  submit  to  a  hundred  and  tifty  harangues, 
which  took  up  a  week.  Tho  substanco  of  all  was  that 
the  Indians  bogged  him  to  assure  tho  King  of  thuir 
inviolable  fidelity  ;  that  thoy  would  never  forgot  that  he  it 
was  who  had  made  men  of  them,  and  rendered  them  a 
terror  to  thoir  neighbors ;  that  some  rumors  unfavorable 
to  tho  French  had  indeed  circulated  in  their  villages,  but 
that  such  language  came  only  from  somo  madcaps,  and 
that  the  chiefs  and  sachems  had  not  been  parties  to  it ; 
that  they  beggod  him  not  to  blame  thom  for  it,  and  to  for- 
get tho  past.  This  he  promised,  and  spoke  to  them  only 
concerning  tho  negroes  retaken  from  tho  Natchez,  whom 
thoy  still  kept,  although  thoy  had  pledged  their  word  to 
bring  them  into  tho  colony.  Thoy  replied  that  thoy  had 
always  intended  to  bring  them  back,  but  that  thoir  mas- 
ters must  send  for  them,  because  somo  whom  they  tried 
to  bring  back  killed  themselves  ou  the  way. 

Although  a  good  understanding  seemed  quite  well  re- 
stored between  the  Eastern  and  tho  Western  Choctaws, 
the  General  nevertheless  perceived  that  they  were  still 
somewhat  jealous  of  each  other,  and  as  ho  was  much 
surer  of  the  latter  than  of  tho  former,  he  represented  to 
those  thai  it  was  uecossary  for  them  to  have  a  head  chief 
like  tho  others.  He  added  that  for  this  dignity  ho  had 
cast  his  eyes  on  tho  Chief  of  the  Castachas,'  whom  they

he  styles  in  his  letters  tho  "  Emporor  of  the  Caouitas,"  '  to 
whom  he  made  a  suitable  present ;  it  pleased  him  greatly, 
aud  he  declared  that  ho  would  bo  devoted  to  the  French 
as  long  as  he  lived ;  that  ho  saw  that  the  advice  wo  gave 
was  always  good ;  that  ho  wished  the  Euglish  thought  as 
they  did,  as  all  nations  would  be  tho  happier  for  it. 

Mr.  Porrier  also  jrive  audience  to  the  Chickasaw  chiof, 
but  adopted  a  diiTerout  tone  with  him.  He  told  him, 
however,  that  ho  was  very  glad  to  see  him ;  that  whou  his 
nation  returned  to  its  duty,  ho  would  treat  it  like  tho  rest, 
and  that  it  depended  on  them  to  live  calmly  and  happily ; 
that  he  was  ignorant  of  none  of  their  intrigues,  but  that 
he  would  resume  his  paternal  feelings  for  them,  when  they 
themselves  acted  as  submissive  and  obedient  children. 
Tliis  man  made  no  reply,  but  a  week  after,  ho  asked  tho 
Castacha  chiof  to  tell  tho  General  that  they  were  unhap- 
py, aud  really  worthy  of  compassion ;  that  since  ho  had  with- 
drawn the  French  who  traded  with  them,  all  the  northern 
nations  made  unrelenting  war  on  them.  Perrior  told  the 
one  who  spoke  thus  to  assui'o  that  chiof  that  no  nation  of 
his  province  should  attack  them,  as  long  as  they  gave  him 
no  other  cause  of  complaint,  but  that  ho  did  not  answer 
for  the  Canada  Iiidiana..  as  they  were  thoroughly  con- 
vinced that  they  were  enemies  of  tho  French ;  that  they 
must  prove  tho  contrary  by  unequivocal  acta. 

Tho  most  delicate  point  on  which  Mr.  Perrier  had  to 
treat  with  the  Ch(jctaws,  was  trade.  Ho  know  that  they 
complained  loudly  of  tho  dearnoss  of  our  goods,  nor  was 
ho  unaware  that  the  English  had  promised  to  furnish 
their  goods  at  half  any  price  we  might  set  on  ours.  On 
the  other  hand,  ho  was  well  convinced  that  if  he  made

mand  auotljer.     Ho  tliought,  however,  ho  miglit  gratify

order:  The  army  was  divided  into  three  battalions,  or 
three  squadrons.  The  marines  under  de  Salvort  on  the 
right,  the  militia  under  de  Benac  on  the  left ;  the  General 
in  the  centre,  having  under  him  the  Baron  de  Cresnay 
commandant  of  the  Louysiana  troops,  the  Chevalier 
d'Artaguotto  commanding  the  grenadier  company,  the 
Sieur  Baron  acting  as  engineer,  and  the  fusileers ;  a  part 
of  the  latter  were  at  the  French  fort  at  Natchez,  whence 
Mr.  de  Lusser  was  to  march  with  them  to  Bed  River. 
The  negroes  were  scattered  in  different  boats,  and  the  In- 
dians, who  had  not  aU  assembled  yet,  were  to  form  a 
corps  by  themselves. 

On  the  27th  they  had  made  but  little  progress,  as 
snows  and  rain  had  swollen  the  river  and  increased  its  cur- 
rents, while  the  fogs  were  so  dense  and  continual  as  to 
force  them  every  moment  to  stop. 

This  day  news  came  that  de  Coulonges  and  de  Beau- 
liou  had  been  attacked  by  the  Natchez,  and  that  of  twen- 
ty-four men  in  the  Frerch  batteau,  sixteen  had  been 
killed  or  wounded ;  Beaulieu  among  the  former,  and  Cou- 
longes among  the  latter.'  To  crown  the  disastrous  intelli- 
gence, it  was  also  reported  that  the  Akansas,  weary  of 
hearing  no  tidings  of  the  French  force,  had  gone  home. 
Perrier  halted  some  time  at  the  Bay  of  the  Tonicas,  to 
assemble  the  Indians,  who  had  not  yet  come  in ;  he  was 
blamed  for  not  having  arranged  to  send  them  on  in  ad- 
vance to  blockade  the  Natchez  in  their  fort ;  but  he  prob- 
ably had  not  sufficient  confidence  in  these  Indians  to  en- 
triist  them  with  a  luovemeut  on  which  all  the  success  of 
the  campaign  depended.  The  CanadiaLS,  who  readily 
blamed  everything  that  was  done,  since  the  colony  was  no 
longer  goverued  by  one  of  themselves,  judged  the  Louy- 
siana by  the  Canada  Indians,  and  in  this  were  mistaken. 
Perrier  might  have  maureuvred  differently  if  ho  had  had 
Abeuaqiiis,  Hurons,  Aigouquins  and  Iroquois  to  deal  with, 
all  Christians,  and  long  domiciliated  among  us.

Riv3r  on  the  4th  of  January,  1731,  with  several  Indians,  ^72^- 
who  now  amounted  to  a  hundred  and  fifty  of  various  na-  '  ''''~' 
tions.  He  had  some  days  before  ordered  de  Benac  to  as- 
cend to  our  Natchez  fort  to  obtain  information.  He  re- 
turned on  the  ninth  without  having  seen  anything  or 
heard  any  intelligence.  The  same  day  the  Indians  and  a 
hundred  and  fifty  volunteers  were  detached  to  take  the 
advance  under  Captain  de  Layo  of  the  militia,  and  block- 
ade the  Natchez  as  soon  as  they  were  discovered ;  but 
this  detachment  did  not  proceed  far,  the  Indians  not  going 
willingly  on  this  expedition.  On  the  eleventh,  they  as- 
cended Red  River,  and  at  noon  the  next  day  they  entered 
the  Black.  The  General  had  commanded  the  greatest 
precaution  to  avoid  being  discovered  by  the  enemy ;  but 
his  orders  were  unavailing,  as  the  Indians,  recognizing  no 
authority  and  observing  no  discipline,  continued  to  lire,  as 
usual  with  them,  at  all  game  that  showed  itself ;  so  that  it 
is  rather  astonishing  that  they  succeeded  in  finding  the 
enemy  in  his  fort  after  so  long  a  march  and  so  little  secrecy. 

It  was  on  the  20th  of  January  that  they  discovered  tho  u'he  anny 
enemy.  Orders  were  at  once  given  to  invest  the  n,  and  as  tSe^tmemy, 
this  was  done  closely,  and  they  were  within  speaking  dis- 
tance, the  besieged  began  by  invectives.  The  trenches 
were  opened  and  skirmishing  kept  up  all  day  and  all 
night.  The  next  day  the  mortars  and  all  things  necessa- 
ry for  tho  siege  were  landed.  Some  shells  wore  then 
thrown,  which  fell  inside  tho  fort.  Tho  besieged  made  a 
uortie,  killed  one'  Frenchman  and  one  negro,  and  wound- 
ed an  officer,  but  they  were  sharply  repulsed  by  Mr.  de 
Lusser.  Shells  wore  thrown  all  through  the  22nd,  but 
produced  no  great  result,  and  the  enemy  wounded  two  of 
our  soldiers.  However,  on  the  21th,  they  hoisted  a  white 
flag.  Perrier  at  once  raised  a  similar  one  at  the  head  of 
his  trench,  and  soon  after  an  Indian  was  seen  api)roach- 
iug  with  two  calumets  in  his  hand. 

Tlio  General   sent  his  interpreter  to  receive  him,   and

but  he  also  required  that  tho  chiefs  should  come  to  con- 
fer with  him.  Tho  deputy  replied  that  tho  chiefs  would 
not  come,  but  that  if  tho  General  had  anything  to  com- 
municate to  them,  he  might  advance  to  tho  head  of  the 
trench,  and  that  tho  Head  Chief  would  on  his  side  ad- 
vance to  the  edge  of  his  fort.  Perrier  told  him  to  go  at 
all  events  and  get  the  negroes,  and  that  on  his  return  he 
Mould  announce  his  intentions. 

He  returned  with  this  reply  and  in  half  an  hour 
brought  eighteen  negroes  and  one  ncgress.  On  restoring 
them  to  the  General,  he  told  him  that  the  Sun  would  not 
come  out,  yet  that  he  asked  nothing  except  to  make 
peace ;  but  on  condition  that  the  army  should  at  once  re- 
tiro  ;  that  if  it  adopted  this  course,  he  pledged  his  word 
that  his  nation  would  never  commit  any  hostility  against 
the  French,  and  that  he  was  even  ready,  if  desired,  to  go 
and  restore  his  village  in  its  old  site.  The  General  re- 
plied thiiL  he  would  listen  to  no  proposition  till  tho  chiefs 
came  to  moot  him ;  that  ho  assured  them  their  lives ;  but 
that  if  they  did  not  come  to  him  that  very  day,  there 
should  be  no  quarter  for  any  one. 

The  envoy  returned  ^v  ith  this  message,  and  after  a  time 
came  back  to  say  that  all  the  warriors,  with  one  accord,  re- 
fused to  let  the  Suu  come  out ;  that  this  excepted,  tLsy  were 
disposed  to  do  anything  required.  The  cannon  had  just 
arrived ;  the  General  replied  to  this  Indian  that  he  held 
to  his  first  proposition,  and  ordered  him  to  notify  his  peo- 
ple that  if  they  allowed  a  single  cannon  to  be  fired,  he 
would  put  all  lo  tho  sword,  without  sparing  even  tho  wo 
men  and  children.  This  man  soon  returned  with  a  Nat- 
che  named  St.  Come,  a  son  of  the  woman  Chief,  and  who 
consequently  would  have  succeeded  tho  Sun.  This  In- 
dian, who  had  at  all  times  been  quite  familiar  with  the 
French,  told  Mr.  Perrier  in  a  very  resolute  tone,  that, 
inasmuch  as  peace  had  boon  coucludod,  ho  ought  to  di.s- 
miss  his  trotjps ;  that  ho  was  very  sorry  for  what  his  na-

tion  had  done  against  us,  but  that  all  should  bo  forgotten, 
especially  as  the  prime  mover  iu  all  the  mischief  had 
been  killed  iu  the  first  siege  during  the  Choctaw  attack. 

Perrior  expressed  his  pleasure  at  seeing  him,  but  insist- 
ed absolutely  on  seeing  the  Head  Chief  also ;  that  he 
would  no  longer  bo  trilled  with,  and  that  no  Natcho  must 
again  think  of  coming  to  his  presence  except  in  company  "HlVf  "como 
with  the  Sun,  as  he  would  fire  on  any  one  advancing  to  "amp'''' 
make  new  proposals ;  that  he  accordingly  permitted  him 
to  return  to  his  fort,  but  that  if  the  Head  Chief  did  not 
come  forth  as  soon  as  he  got  in,  he  would  reduce  the  fort 
to  ashes  with  his  bombs.  Saint  Come  at  once  took  leave 
of  him,  and  in  half  an  hour  was  seen  coming  forth  with 
the  Sun,  and  another  called  the  Flour  Chief,  (Chef  de  la 
Fariue.)  The  last  was  the  real  author  of  the  massacre  of 
the  French ;  but  Saint  Come  had  wished  to  throw  the 
fault  on  another.  They  appeared  at  the  moment  when 
preparations  were  making  to  attack  the  fort  during  the 
coming  night. 

Mr.   Perrier  sent  soldiers  to  meet  them   and  conduct 
them  to  his  quarters.    The  Sun  told  the  General  that  he 
was  charmed  to  treat  with  him,  and  that  he  came  to  re- 
peat to  him  what  he  had  told  him  through   the  envoy ; 
that  it  was  not  he   who  had  killed  the  French  ;  that  he 
was  then  too  young  to  speak,  and  that  it  was  the  ancients 
who    had    formed    this    criminal   project.     "I    am   well 
aware,"  ho  added,  "  that  it  will  always  be  ascril)ed  to  me, 
because   I    was   the  sovereign  of  my  nation,  yet  I  am 
quite  innocent."     In  fact,  it  has  always  been  believed  in 
the  colony  that  his  whole  crime  was  iu  not  daring  to  re- 
sist his  nation,  or  notify  the  French  of  what  was  plotting 
against  them.      Up  to  that  time ,  and  especially  before  he 
attained  the  dignity  of  Sun,  he   had  never  given  any 
grounds  to  tiistrust  him.      Saint  Come,  who  was  likewise 
not   hostile   to  the   French,   also  cleared  him  as  well  as 
he  could ;  but  the  other  chief  merely  said  that  he  regret- 
ted deeply  all  that  had  happened.     "  We  had  no  sense," 
he  continued,   "but  hereafter  we  shall  have."    As  they

He  then  summoned  the  Head  Chief  of  the  Tonicas

men  could  ehcit  nothing  new.  My  authorities  do  not 
state  whether  the  Stung  Serpent  was  tlien  in  our  camp 
as  a  friend  or  as  a  prisoner,  but  towards  the  close 
of  1721,  while  I  was  at  the  Natchez,  I  saw  that  he  was 
regarded  as  the  best  friend  we  had  in  that  nation,  and  he 
was  said  to  be  a  very  close  relation  of  the  Sun.'  The 
commission  confided  to  him  by  Perrier  induces  me  to  be-

reposed.  Half  an  hour  later,  these  awoke,  and  he  in  his 
turn  went  to  sleep.  About  three  o'clock  he  was  awakened 
by  a  loud  noise.  He  sprang  to  his  two  pocket-pistols, 
and  perceived  Saint  Come  and  the  Sun  in  the  posture  of 
men  who  are  on  the  point  of  escaping.  He  told  them 
that  he  would  blow  out  the  brains  of  the  first  who  stirred

Sun  was,  aud  informed  him  that  the  Flour  Chief  had  come 
into  the  fort ;  that  having  awaked  his  nephew  and  eight 
or  ten  of  the  oldest  warriors,  he  had  told  them  that  the 
French  intended  to  burn  them  all ;  that  for  his  part,  he 
was  sternly  resolved  no  longer  to  remain  exposed  to  fall 
into  their  hands,  and  that  ho  advised  them  to  seek  safety 
with  him ;  that  they  had  followed  his  advice  and  escaped 
with  their  wives  and  children ;  that  all  the  others  had  de- 
liberated whether  to  do  the  same,  but  had  deferred  too 
long  coming  to  a  resolution,  and  day  breaking,  they  saw 
that  escape  was  impossible.  On  this,  tlie  Head  Chief 
told  Mr.  le  Sueur  that  the  Flour  Chief  was  a  usurper, 
who,  although  not  noble,  had  seized  the  place  he  occu- 
pied, which  made  him  the  third  person  in  the  nation,  and 
gave  him  absolute  power  over  all  whom  he  commanded. 

In  the  evening,  Mr.  Perrier  went  to  see  the  Sun,  and 
declared  to  him  that  he  must  send  orders  to  all  his  sub- 
jects to  come  forth  from  the  fort  unarmed,  with  their 
wives  and  children ;  that  he  would  spare  their  lives  and 
prevent  the  Indians  from  illtreating  them.  He  obeyed, 
and  at  once  sent  orders  by  the  Natcho  who  had  come  to 
bear  the  message  I  have  mentioned;  but  all  refused  to 
submit.  The  wife  of  the  Head  Chief  came  to  him  the 
same  day,  with  his  brother  and  some  others  of  his  family, 
and  Perrier  gave  hor  a  hearty  welcome,  in  consideration 
of  the  kindness  she  had  shown  the  French  women  during 
their  captivity.  They  were  anxious  to  have  the  woman 
Chief,  who  had  even  more  influence  in  the  nation  than  the 
Sun  himself.  The  wife  of  the  Chief  went  repeatedly  to 
the  fort  to  induce  her  to  come  out,  but  her  exhortations 
were  unavailing.  About  thirty-five  men  and  two  hundred 
women  surrendered  towards  two  o'clock  in  the  afternoon  ; 
the  rest  were  told  that  unless  they  did  the  same  at  once,  the 
cannonade  would  begin,  and  that  as  soon  as  it  opened, 
tliero  should  be  no  mercy  for  any  one.  They  replied  that 
we  might  fire  when  we  chose ;  that  they  did  not  fear 
death.  Yet  it  is  certain  that  there  were  only  seventy 
warriors  at  most,  remaining  in  the  fort ;  that  they  had  not

a  single  chief,  aud  that  most  of  them  kept  themselves 
shut  up  from  the  fear  of  fulling  iuto  the  hands  of  the 
Indians  if  they  attempted  to  escape  separately,  or  of  be- 
ing perceived  by  the  besiegers  if  they  all  escaped  in  a  body. 

They  were  not,  however,  cannonaded;  moreover,  the 
weather  was  fearful,  the  rain  having  been  incessant  for 
three  days ;  the  besieged  trusted  that  the  French  would 
be  less  careful  in  watching  the  passes,  and  they  were 
not  mistaken.  About  eight  o'clock  at  night,  Mr.  de  Be- 
nac  sent  word  to  Mr.  Perrier  that  they  were  escaping. 
The  trenches  and  all  the  posts  at  once  were  ordered  to 
fire,  but  the  fugitives  passed  unperceived  along  a  bayoa 
or  little  river,  which  ran  between  the  quarter  of  the  mili- 
tiaf  and  that  of  the  Baron  de  Cresnay;  and  before  it 
was  known,  and  we  entered  the  fort,  they  were  already 
far  off  with  their  wives  and  children.  Only  one  woman 
was  found,  who  had  been  just  delivered  of  a  child,  and 
one  man  in  the  act  of  escaping.' 

The  next  day,  the  26th,  we  endeavored  to  induce  the 
Indians  to  pursue  these  fugitives,  but  they  refused,  say- 
ing that  as  they  had  escaped  by  our  fault,  it  was  our 
business  to  pursue  them;  so  that  having  no  longer  any 
enemies  to  tight,  our  troops  had  to  think  of  returning. 
The  same  day,  all  the  prisoners  were  bound ;  the  Sun,  his 
brother,  brother-in-law,  Baint  Come  and  all  of  that 
family  were  put  on  board  the  Saint  Louis.  Forty  war- 
riors were  put  in  the  demi-galley  commanded  by  le  Sueur. 
The  women  and  children,  numbering  in  all  three  hundi'ed 
and  eighty-seven  persons,  were  distributed  among  the 
other  vessels.  The  whole  army  embarked  on  the  27th, 
aud  on  the  5th  of  February  reached  New  Orleans.* 

The  war  was  far  from  being  finished.  Le  Sueur  had 
ascertained  from  the  Head  Chief  that  the  whole  nation 
w  as  not  by  any  means  in  the  fort  that  we  had  besieged ;

that  it  still  comprised  two  hundrecl  warriors,'  including 
the  Yazoos  and  the  Corrois,  and  as  many  youth,  who 
could  already  in  an  emergency  handle  a  musket ;  that  one  of 
their  chiefs  had  gone  to  the  Chickasaws  with  forty  men 
and  many  women;  that  another,  with  sixty  or  seventy 
men,  more  than  a  hundred  women,  and  a  great  number  of 
children,  was  three  days  journey  from  his  fort,  on  the 
shore  of  a  lake ;  that  twenty  men,  ten  women  and  six  ne- 
groes were  at  the  Ouatchitas ;  that  a  band  discovered  by 
the  army  on  the  18th  of  January,  comprised  twenty  men, 
fifty  women,  anu  many  children ;  that  some  twenty  war- 
riors were  prowling  around  their  old  village  to  cut  off  the 
Frenchmen;  that  the  Yazoos  and  Corrois  were  in  an- 
other fort  three  days'  march  from  his ;  that  all  the  rest 
had  died  of  hardship  or  dysentery.  Wo  were  finally 
informed  that  the  Flour  Chief  might  have  assembled 
sixty  or  seventy  men,  a  hundred  women,  and  a  great  num- 
ber of  children. 

Le  Sueur  having  acquired  all  this  information,  proceed- 
ed to  report  it  to  the  General,  and  told  him  that  if  he 
would  allow  him  to  take  all  the  well-disposed  men,  he  be- 
lieved he  could  guarantee  to  master  all  these  separate 
corps ;  but  he  was  refused.  Perrier  had  not,  perhaps,  all 
the  confidence  in  the  Canadians  that  most  of  them  de- 
served, and  brough*/  up  in  a  service  where  disciphno  and 
subordination  are  at  the  highest  point,  he  could  not  con- 
ceive that  anything  of  importance  can  be  effected  with 
militia,  who  acknowledged  no  law  of  war  but  groat 
bravery  and  invincible  patience  in  the  severest  marches 
and  most  laborious  works.  He  would  doubtless  have 
tl\ought  otherwise  had  he  reflected  that  rules  must  be 
adapted  according  to  the  enemy's  manner  of  fighting. 

However,  we  were  not  slow  in  perceiving  that  the  Nat- 
chez could  still  render  themselves  formidable,  and  that 
the  step  of  sending  the  Sun  and  all  who  had  been  taken 
with  him  to  be  sold  as  elaves  in  St.  Domingo,  had  rather

"•""y-^  in  whom  hatred  and  despair  had  transformed  their  natu- 

Tiio  ciiiof  ^""^^  pride  and  ferocity  into  a  valor  of  which  they   were 

Tx!ilinia    never  deemed  capable.     In  the  month  of  April,  the  Head 

hiuis^rAo  Chief  of  the   Tonicas  descended  to   New    Orleans,  and 

Burp^uod    ^°^'^  Porrier  that  while  he  was  hunting,  four  Natchez  had 

""b'  ui'e'"^  come  to  him  to  beg  him  to  make  terms  for  them  with  the 

Natchez.    iVench,  adding  that  all,  including  those  who  had  taken 

refuge  among  the  Chickasaws,  asked  to  bo  received  and 

pardoned ;  that  they  would  reside  wherever  it  was  wished, 

but  that  they  should  be  glad  to  be  near  the  Tonicas,  and 

that  he  came  to  ascertain  his  intentions. 

Perrier  replied  that  he  consented  to  their  settling  two 
leagues  from  his  village,  but  not  nearer,  to  avoid  all  occa- 
sion of  quarrel  between  the  two  nations ;  but  that  above 
all  things,  he  exacted  that  they  should  come  unarmed. 
The  Tonica  promised  to  conform  to  this  order  ;  yet  as 
soon  as  he  reached  home,  ho  received  thirty  Natchez  into 
his  village,  after  taking  the  precaution  to  disarm  them. 
At  the  same  time  fifteen  other  Natchez  and  twenty  wom- 
en came  to  the  Baron  de  Cresnay,  whom  they  found  in 
the  fort  which  had  been  built  on  theu'  old  grounds.  A 
few  days  after,  the  Flour  Chief  arrived  among  the  Toni- 
cas with  a  hundred  men,  theii-  women  and  children,  hav- 
ing concealed  fifty  Chickasaws  and  Corrois  in  the  cane- 
brake  around  the  village. 

The  Head  Chief  informed  them  that  he  was  forbidden 
to  receive  them  unless  they  gave  up  their  arms ;  they  re- 
plied that  this  was  indeed  their  intention,  but  they 
begged  him  to  consent  to  let  them  keep  them  some  time 
longer,  lest  their  women,  seeing  them  disarmed,  should 
think  themselves  prisoners  condemned  to  death.  He  con- 
sented ;  then  food  was  distributed  to  their  new  guests, 
and  they  danced  till  after  midnight,  after  which  the  Toni- 
cas retired  to  their  cabins,  thinking  that  of  course  the 
Natchez  would  also  go  to  rest.  Bui,  soon  after,  that  is  to 
say,  one  hour  before  day,  for  it  was  the  llth  day  of  June,

and  at  first  killed  four  Natchez ;  but  overborne  by  num- 
bers, ho  was  slain  witli  some  twelve  of  his  warriors.  His 
war-chief,  undismayed  by  this  loss  or  the  flight  of  most  of 
his  braves,  rallied  a  dozen,  with  whom  he  regained  the 
Head  Chiefs  cabin ;  he  even  succeeded  in  recalling  the 
rest,  and  after  fighting  for  five  days  and  nights  almost 
without  intermission,  remained  master  of  his  village.  Tho 
Tonicas  on  this  occasion  had  twenty  men  killed  and  as 
many  wounded.  They  killed  of  the  Natchez  thirty-three 
men,  and  took  three  prisoners,  whom  they  burned.' 

Perrier  no  sooner  received  this  tidings,  than  ho  dis- 
patched a  detachment,  under  the  command  of  the  Cheva- 
lier d'Artaguette,  to  induce  as  many  Indians  as  he  could 
to  pursue  the  Natchez.  At  the  same  time  ho  ordered 
the  Baron  de  Cresnay  to  make  sure  of  all  those  who  had 
surrendered  to  him ;  he  obeyed,  but  his  adjutant,  to 
whom  he  confided  them,  having  allowed  them  to  retain 
their  knives,  they  sprang,  at  a  moment  when  it  was  least 
expected,  on  eight  muskets  which  were  stacked,  and  with 
these  kept  up  a  fire  till  they  were  all  killed,  men,  women 
and  children,  to  the  number  of  thirty-seven.  Their  chief 
had  gone  to  New  Orleans  with  fifteen  of  his  men  ;  these 
were  arrested  and  sent  to  Toulouse  Island,  where  they 
were  put  in  irons.  They  found  means  to  break  them,  but 
had  not  time  to  escape,  and  were  all  killed.

was  only  seven  or  eight  days'  march  from  the  Natchito- 
ches, when  the  Sieur  Fontaine,  sent  by  do  Saint  Denys 
to  Perrier,  informed  him  that  the  Natchez  had  been  de- 
feated ;  that  the  Natchitoches  had  at  the  outset  wislicd  to 
attpck  them,  but  being  only  forty  against  two  hundred, 
they  had  been  compelled  to  retire,  and  even  abandon 
their  village  after  losing  four  of  their  men  ;  that  the  Nat- 
chez had  seized  the  village,  and  intrenched  themselves 
there ;  that  then  de  Saint  Denys,  having  received  a  rein- 
forcement of  Assinais  and  Attacapas,  who  were  joined  by 
some  Spaniards,  had  attacked  the  enemy's  intrenchments 
and  killed  eighty-two,  including  all  their  chiefs ;  that  all 
the  survivors  had  taken  Hight,  and  that  the  Natchitoches 
were  in  close  pursuit.' 
Fcreesof       So  m&nj  losses,  and  especially  the  loss  of  the  chiefs, 

Baws.  reduced  the  Natchez  to  a  mere  tribal  band ;  but  there 
wore  enough  left  to  harass  the  settlers  of  Louysia- 
na,  and  to  interrupt  trade.  Moreover,  it  was  impossible 
to  dissemble  any  longer  with  the  Chickasaws,  who  were 
not  long  now  in  declaring  themselves  openly,  which  they 
had  hitherto  avoided  doing.  They  numbered  a  thousand 
warriors,  and  eighty  or  a  hundred  Natchez  might  yet  join 
them,  to  say  nothing  of  the  few  remaining  Corrois  and 
Yazoos.  This  was  enough  to  plunge  the  colony  back  into 
the  panic  from  which  it  had  not  entirely  recovered,  and 
it  beheld  itself  on  the  eve  of  sustaining  a  new  war,  to 
which  its  present  forces  did  not  promise  a  speedy  termi-

would  ceaso  to  trout  them  ho  conHidonvtoly.  To  check  us,  '73'- 
tlioy  had  takcu  steps  which  led  mou  to  bolicvo  that  their  ^^^"^""^ 
neighbors  directed  ull  their  movoiuouts,  iiiid  in  ii  very 
short  time  we  had  proofs  that  wore  by  no  moiius  equivo- 
cal. They  bogau  by  sendiug  to  New  Orloaus  a  trusty  ne- 
gro, to  notify  all  of  his  race  who  were  among  us,  that  it 
dejjended  on  themselves  alone  to  recover  their  liberty  and 
live  in  quiet  and  plenty  among  the  English. 

This  man  managed  his  intrigues  well ;  he  was  heard  with  'riioaiiintcr 
pleasure  by  all  his  race  ;  but  Perrior  was  warned  by  a  no-  uiiMu^ua 
gross,  a  servant  in  the  city,  that  a  plot  was  formed  by  a  imnuhcd. 
groat  number  of  these  slaves;  that  they  had  agreed  to 
take  the  time  of  the  parochial  High  Mass  to  set  fire  to 
various  houses  in  order  to  occupy  apart  from  each  other, 
all  not  at  church,  and  then  to  seize  this  favorable  con- 
juncture to  escape.     On  this  deposition,  the  Command- 
ant-General arrested  a  woman  who  was  the  mainspring  of 
the  conspiracy,  and  four  men,  who  had  been  declared  the 
chiefs.     They  were  confronted  and  convicted ;  the  woman 
was  hung  and  the  men  broken  alive,  and  these  examples, 
which  showed  the  rest  that  their  secret  had  taken  wind, 
was  enough  to  keep  the  rest  in  their  duty.' 

Meanwhile  the  Choctaws,  of  whom  a  part  had  been 
gained  by  the  Chickasaws,  had  turned  a  deaf  ear  to  the 
invitations  made  by  the  Sieur  Regis  in  behalf  of  his  gen- 
eral to  send  three  hundred  of  their  warriors  against  our  Ihlfchieka^ 
enemies;  but  thirty  or  forty  of  these  last  having  been  """"■ 
killed  in  an  engagement  by  the  French,  this  little  check 
lost  them  the  alliance  of  that  nation,  the  only  one  from 
whom  they  had  anything  to  fear  or  hope  :  it  all  united  in 
our  favor.  Then  the  Chickasaws  again  turned  to  the  Mi- 
amis,  Illinois  and  Akausas ;  but  they  found  tribes  who  were 
still  faithful  to  their  first  engagements,  and  who  from 
the  outset  dissipated  all  their  hopes  of  gaining  them. 
The  Illinois  even  gave  up  to  the  Commandant-General 
the  three  ambassadors  whom  oui  enemies  had  sent  them.

Oovoruor  of  Louy.siaua  for  tho  King.  On  tho  22ud  of 
January  in  this  year,  tho  Company  had  deliberated  tho 
question  of  conveying  back  to  his  majesty  the  grant 
which  had  boon  made  to  it  of  that  province  and  the  Uli- 
uois  country  and  their  exclusive  privilege,  ou  condition  of 
being  empowered  to  grant  permissions  to  tho  merchants 
of  the  kingdom  who  might  wish  to  trade  thoro.  Ou  tho 
27th  of  March,  tliis  deliberation  was  approved  by  au  Ar- 
ret, and  Mr.  do  Siilmon,  who  was  discharging  at  New  Or«

sion of  the  country  in  tho  name  of  his  majesty,  by  Letters 
Patent  of  the  King,  on  tlio  10th  of  April  following. 

However,  Mr.  Porrier  had  not  tho  time  to  profit  by  tho 
measures  which  he  had  adopted  to  push  on  the  Chicka- 
saw War.  Ho  preferred  tho  service  in  which  ho  had 
been  brought  up,  to  expeditions  where  tho  risks  incurred 
could  not  be  compensated  by  the  glory  that  might  bo  ao- 
quired,  and  ho  was  relieved  in  1733  by  Mi  do  Bienville,' 
whom  ho  bad  succeeded  in  1726.      Tho  Governor 

found  himself  at  once  burthoued  with  Jio  Chickasaw 
W^ar,  which  had  become  a  much  more  serious  matter  than 
Lad  been  at  first  supposed.  This  war  is  not  yet  terminat- 
ed, as  we  cannot  flatter  ourselves  that  the  peace  recently 
granted  them  will  be  durable ;  moreover,  the  events  which 
it  has  furnished  for  history  are  so  differently  related,  that 
it  is  not  yet  possible  to  distinguish  the  truth  amid  the  clouds 
in  which  the  friends  and  enemies  of  the  principal  actors

ho  found  "Anthony,  Marquis  de 
Crisaphee,  noted  as  buried  May  12, 
1709."  The  Montreal  Register  he 
ascertiiiriod  gives,  March  1,  lG9t>, 
the  burial  of  the  Chevalier  Thomas 
de  Crisafy,  Knight  of  Malta.  See 
Tanguiiy,  Diet.  Grni'alogiijuo,  i.,
